Well I'm back because I did not finish last night. I don't think that I would want to be doing the tour bus with the NatWest Bank. I wonder what would make them take it off the tour? The place is epically masic in the architecture and I'm sure the history. Yeah the banks where you needed to jump through a hole to get in? Only if I have a skinny little kid with me. You know, one that you don't care about? Because if you jumping through a sewer hole hey, is there any chance there might be a flushed alligator down there? I have to tell you that in New York City they used to find alligators down in the sewers. Of course we all know that that is urban legend but it's really a little bit true. New York City rescues several alligators every year, usually a former pet that's been abandoned once they stop being so cute. With every new sighting the legend gets another boost. We actually have a alligator in the sewer Day in February. It's the real thing. If you have been found in the rivers around New York City but I think they are coming in on boats. Anyway long story short oh, I won't be going down there.
The backside of the bank was attached to something or there's a lot of damage to the back side where the weeds are.
Although you were calling The Elms a nursing home, the sign clearly says private Nursery School, which I thought was a children's School. Could I squeeze through there? Maybe not even when I was four. It does look pretty small. So you're going to have to tell me if that's an old people's home or a children's School.
Mansion house pretty impressive looking for a house and right off the bat look like a renovation project, especially with the bricks and tiles outside. I sent them to leave the basement door open for you oh, and I can see piles of supplies so yeah I would probably get the heck out of there too. That sure would have been fun a little bit earlier. I am not sure how you keep up with all the empties that you have but it sure is fun tagging. along.
From the old reports.. the bank was accessible down that hatch. It's next to a prominent bus route and you would easily be seen going in. Not my scene at all.
We don't have an forms of alligators in the UK.., just snakes every now and again. I have yet to see even one in my lifetime.
People that go to Florida used to bring them back for gifts! They sold them in little souvenir shops. They still find them in storm drains now and then but, they are usually less than three feet...
It is that urban legend that scared the bejesus out of people! :) Ugh! Snakes!
Live Alligators?
Absolutely! They used to sell them in the little souvenir shops. People with bring them back because at the time not everybody went on vacation like they do now and it was a novelty. Soon it became illegal oh, but they did it for quite a long time. I actually think they did it since like the 1930s and I think is late as the sixties. I'm not sure about that I would probably have to ask. I can remember the stories of my family of my great Uncle doing it and having to put it in his bathtub.
Somewhere, somebody is selling them and really because they still show up in the storm drain on occasion oh, probably about three a year in New York alone
