The plan (Before crits)


After my talk with Chris i felt i should stick to my guns and follow the path of the bank robbery scene. I began looking into places that could provide the adtitional reference i would need like bank vaults and doors etc. After a lot of searching i found several places down in London that were my best bet of getting some solid reference.


The flyer above from what i can gather is an old insight into what the 'Silver Vaults' down in London used to be. Alot of the background of this is very hush hush and is hard to find accurate evidence but from what i have found it looks like this place 'the Silver Vaults', is now a large jewellers situated in old vault rooms. The quality of the products is so high end i am unsure of what i will be able to gather in terms of reference and thats if im allowed in at all. If i am not allowed to take pictures at least i will have first hand experience of some ex-vaults. But like i said there is not much information on any of this so i might have to wrong end of the stick compleatly. Wish me luck.

As well as this there is the more reliable 'Bank of England Museum' which is bound to feature old and new bank assets that i am sure to be able to photograph. Ill be able to pick up a bit of background history there too and the building i believe is an ex-bank or again ex-vault.

The final one is less interesting and is the Hard Rock Cafes: 'The Vault' which is an underground exhibit of rock memorabilia locked in an old vault. Picking through the photos and guitars there is bound to be some reference hidden away down there.

360 view.

These references are pretty weak and unreliable but i will continue looking.
