For the first time ever in our building’s history, access now comes in the form of a new lift between our Lower and Grand Halls.Wheelchair users, goods and people who really hate stairs can now travel between those levels in our brand new elevator. It’s full of safety features too, with an alarm button, telephone line and will stop immediately if you step on the outer edge of the platform.

We’re also considering what we might artistically do to the walls inside the shaft since they’re exposed as you travel up and down.

Travelling down from the Grand Hall, it’s a little like the entrance to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, as the room gets taller above you…
