Martin's Bank Crest - Coney Street

Buidling adornments around York can be interesting this crest is on the corner of the Starbucks Coffeeshop in Coney Street. The crest is about all that remains to indicate the former presence of the Martins bank that used to occupy the site. Martins bank was bought by Barclays Bank in 1969, when all of its branches were swallowed up as brancjhes of Barclays. Under the usual Bank rationalisations the site was sold off by Barclays and eventually became a Starbucks.
