Vaults

Visited the Silver Vaults in Chancery Lane in London. This is an underground labyrinth of 30 shops housed in safes. The oldest item we saw for sale was a HenryVIII Apostle spoon (no price tag). One kind lady let us try on rings, I found the cheapest at £40 (but I prefer my amethyst to be in gold!)

Wow - this is serious shopping. I fear I would be too frightened to go in there - pockets not deep enough!

That’s a new one for me....shops in safes. Made for an interesting photo.

That is something so different, what an experience.

[Merrelyn]

Wow, how big are the safes?

[Jacqueline]

That must have been a great experience!
