St. Mary Cray is an original Branch of Martin’s Private Bank, opened in 1886. It is one of a number of outlets of the Bank scattered throughout the North Western parts of Kent.  A sub-Branch to Orpington, St Mary Cray remains open until 1942, another victim of the Kennet Committee’s call upon employers to release more staff to fight in the Second World War.

In Service: 1886 until 1942

After the War, the decision is taken not to reopen this branch. We haven’t been able to find opening hours for later than 1913.  At this point St Mary Cray is staffed two days a week by staff from Martin’s Private Bank at Chiselhurst.  If you can find an image of this branch, or have information or images in connection with any of 1000+ Buildings used by Martins Bank as Branch premises between 1928 and 1969, then please do get in touch with us at the usual address – martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com.
