Not something we see every day here.
Its in the bowels of the building.
Not many people, in fact, a lot of our own people don't know that this is here.
So come along.
This is all original to the building.
This is where I told you you need lighting.
It was a way to escape if there was an emergency, which during the Cold War, That's what we were really worried about.
Right?
Big emergency.
That has been boarded up.
This is the only access.
And it's just here.
It's just a staircase to nowhere.
