I&#039;m delighted the photograph has been identified and so much information can be gleaned from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a couple of years since I first started this thread and until this week I&#039;d still been puzzling about the identity of this bank. So I caved in and removed the photo from the frame hoping to find some useful clues... but the photograph is firmly stuck to a hard piece of card, and there&#039;s no writing at all. It allowed me to scan the photo properly though, and google image search worked a minor miracle (for a change, lol). Which is how I found the &#039;Manchester City Office&#039; at <a href="http://www.martinsbank.co.uk" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.martinsbank.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Martins Bank Archive</a> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>More images:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]97892[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]97893[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Jonathan tells me it dates to the mid 1960s. And the scales were used to weigh bags of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The building is now a restaurant and I might just have to pay a visit some time ;-).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
