I came across a page about this branch (at 93 High St.) which includes some nice photos of the inside, I think they show before and after a 60’s refurbishment.

Martins Bank was the only major British bank in those days with a H.Q outside of London, in its case Liverpool. The then Bank of Liverpool took over a very old London bank Martins in 1918 ,hence the name. In 1969 Martins was taken over by Barclay’s.
There was a branch there on Norton Road (most recently Lucinda’s restaurant) but this is the Goldie’s building.
I remember Martin’s bank and yes it is now Goldies Bar
