Barclays shuts 1 Bridge Street at 3pm on Friday 29 January and reopens at 4 Arden Walk in Merseyway on Monday 8 February. Hours and what to plan for.

Barclays is moving its Stockport branch from 1 Bridge Street into Merseyway Shopping Centre. The Bridge Street branch closes at 3pm on Friday 29 January, and a new branch opens at 4 Arden Walk, Merseyway, SK1 1PT on Monday 8 February, according to Barclays’ own branch page for Stockport.

The bank’s notice reads: “This branch will be closed from 3pm on Friday 29 January and a new branch will open nearby at 4 Arden Walk, Merseyway Shopping Centre, Stockport SK1 1PT on Monday 8 February.”

That is a gap of a week, from Saturday 30 January to Saturday 6 February, with no Barclays branch in the town centre.

Hours until it closes

Barclays lists these hours for 1 Bridge Street, SK1 1XU:

Day Hours
Monday to Friday 9.30am to 4.30pm
Saturday 9.30am to 1pm, self-service counter only
Sunday Closed

On its last day the branch shuts at 3pm. On Saturdays, Barclays says, “you won’t be able to make large cash and coin transactions or arrange a temporary debit card.” The branch has an outside cash machine that takes deposits.

The page does not yet say what hours the Merseyway branch will keep, or whether the Bridge Street cash machine stays after the move.

What it means for you

  • Nothing changes before Christmas. The Bridge Street branch keeps its normal hours until 29 January.
  • Plan around the gap: anything that needs a counter, such as a large cash deposit or a replacement card on the day, is best done before 3pm on Friday 29 January or from Monday 8 February. Barclays suggests booking an appointment when documents are involved.
  • The new address: 4 Arden Walk, Merseyway Shopping Centre, SK1 1PT.
