Aylesford
Paper Mills, near MAIDSTONE, is a huge industrial site, home to a huge number of workers, and a
quite self-contained operation. – So much so in fact, that in 1958 Martins
Bank opens a sub branch there for the exclusive use of employees of Albert E Reed
and Co Ltd and their associated companies. Aylesford Mills is typical of the
kind of post-war large enterprise that provided a job for life in a family
atmosphere. In 1969, at the time of the merger, the sub branch there remains
open until 2000, and nowadays the whole site is used for other purposes
including TV programme production. |
In Service: 1958 until 7 April
2000

It is also
home to a major newsprint recycling company, maintaining the link with paper
production. Our friends at Barclays
tell us that they hold no images of the Aylesford Paper Mills sub-Branch
branch, so as ever, we are on the look out for any images that might include
a glimpse of the sub branch in action. For now, we have this wonderful shot
from the air, produced as a postcard by Aero Pictorial Ltd. If you can help with images of Aylesford
Mills sub-Branch, or have memories of working there or using the employee
banking facility, please do get in touch with us at the usual address: martinsbankarchive@btinternet.com.
