The Bank Job ​

After entertaining ourselves into the small hours, until it was sufficiently quiet enough to climb a bank in the middle of town.. we set off..

Crossing the car park to the rear of the bank and we walk straight round the corner and bump into a police van and two of Cumbrias finest :

Their window rolls down and the coversation goes something like his-

PC- Alright lads, what you upto?
Us- Just off out to do a bit of night photography..
PC- Oh right, nice, where you been?
Us- Er, were on our way out..
PC- What cameras you got?
Us- Nikon, Canon...
PC- You havent already been stopped tonight have you?
Us- Na
Bye..

30 seconds later and we were round the corner and climbing to the roof

Some info on the clock and building-

The Savings' Bank is a handsome building, in Union street, erected in 1838, in the Italian style of architecture, with a tower, in which is an excellent clock, made by Roberts and Dobinson, of Manchester; and three bells, the largest of which is fourteen hundred weight. This provident institution was established at Ulverston, in 1816, and now contains deposits amounting to £81,966 17s. 11d., belonging to 2890 depositors, 22 charitable and 13 friendly societies. It is open on Fridays, from one till four. Mr. Samuel Donaldson is actuary.
