"Phoenix from the Ashes" - December 2000                       Home

View of the entrance of the Hall to show the brickwork following the sandblasting process to clean up the front    

Further view of the cleaned up brickwork on the front face of the Hall.
View showing the new ceiling in the Robing room. Note the new shape of the ceiling in place of the old untidy false ceiling and the exposed oak beams.
A further view of the Robing room looking south west. Note the first stage of the Fire Corridor which will give greatly improved alternative means of escape from the building in case of fire.
A view south west of the Robing room. Storage cupboards will be built at this end of the room, whilst the east will be cleared and give additionl space at that end.
View west down the Fire Corridor in the Robing room. 
A view of what will be a proper and permanent staircase leading down, past the kitchen, to open air in the Saffron Hotel court yard
A view north east in the Temple, the ceiling has been completed and plastered. The walls battened ready for the oak panneling.
 Note the stack of sound insulation material which is being placed between the battens. The ceiling, which is now all at the same level gives the impression of much more space in the room.
A view of the Temple looking south west. The partition work, shown in the centre of the photograph, encroaches slightly but this is to allow the staircase to the new LOI room to be accommodated. This will be accessed from the corridor at the head of the main staircase
The new LOI room looking east. The room is plastered out, skirting boards fitted and wired for electrical fittings 
A view of the new LOI room showing the entrance to the room
A storage area is provided on all four sides of the LOI room.
 Although only suitable for light storage, much of the archive paper work held by all, will now be able to be housed in a damp free environment.
