UK - London - Securicor man delivers cash

A Securicor guard delivers a cash box to a City of London bank. Walking quickly to avoid delays in the street, the employee of this security company carries the secure box wearing protective helmet in case of an armed robbery - his most vulnerable body area being the head and neck. The box is padlocked and contains explosive dyes and loud alarms if forcefull opened. Securicor was originally founded by Edward Shortt, a former Liberal Cabinet Minister, in 1935 as Nightwatch Services: its guards rode bicycles and wore old police uniforms. However in 1939 it was taken over by Lord Willingdon and Henry Tiarks who developed it into a leading security business. It changed its name to Security Corps in 1951 then shortened to Securicor in 1953.
