Old Natwest Bank

Good Morning, I went to visit a few places last week and had a great conversation with Emma Price about a couple of other options, which I will be looking in to week.

For now though, here are a few images from the inside of the old Natwest bank, I believe Isaac's office is on the second floor of the same building.


in the centre of the room is this fantastic glass ceiling. 

looking over the bank counters, new flooring is being laid

This is taken from the otherside of the Bank counters. all the drawers still remain

The ceilings are beautiful and still have the original chandeliers 




looking towards the entrance of the room

The building has been used for filming by the BBC, they will be paying for new flooring, which the gentleman informs me will be a posh lino. They're still in the process of cleaning and removing any rubbish. 

Down stairs there's the banks vaults, apparently they're haunted but the gentleman I met there wouldn't tell me who they were haunted by!





Unfortunately my flash wouldn't work, but this is a shot from inside the very large safe door

And another


Entrance of the old Natwest Building on Bute Street

The gentleman that I met there, John Munton, is the care taker, and is keen for the building to be used, he was clearly very proud of it. He was in a bit of a rush as he was going to be showing someone else around, so I didn't get much time to ask him very many questions, but I have his number if anyone needed to contact him.
