The old Bank Vault

An intereresting discovery was made back in March 2019 whilst ground works were taking place at the site of the former Midland Bank, on Upper Parliament Street by Smithdown Lane and Tunnel Road.

The foundations of the former bank’ were uncovered, having been covered over for many years. This revealed the cellar of the original building, along with the original Bank vault, complete with it’s huge metal safe door, still in place.
