Cark in Cartmel is another of Martins Bank’s tinier sub branches, which
is opened in 1920 by the Bank of Liverpool and Martins at 114 Station road.
Our friends at the Cartmel Peninsula History society tell us that James
Keith, a retired butcher of Cark, paid £750 for two houses : 114 & 116
Station Road known as Fair View and Green View. He later sold Green View to
the Bank. The branch can be found on this lovely period photograph from the
Sankey Collection – the pair of houses more or less in the centre of the
picture are 114 and 116 Station Road.
Sadly, we have been unable to find a photo that shows the Bank name
above the door and if you can help, we would be delighted to hear from you at
the usual address – martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com.
We were delighted to be contacted
by Cark resident, and member of the Local history Society, Jeff Appleyard,
who provided us with this comtemporary image of 114 Station Road. In the
black and white image above, it is just possible to make out the railings
that straddle the first floor frontage of each house.
