Lift information and Assistance

As you can see from the above left picture, our lift is not a moving box, it is just a platform that moves up and down to get you into and out of the Museum.  The Lift has an externally connected telephone for emergencies and is Braille friendly.

It can a maximum of 6 people or 500kg (78 Stones).

The door is 90cm (31 inches) wide and 200cm (6' 6") high. The platform is 100cm (3' 3") wide, 140cm (4' 7")deep.

The lift takes around 24 seconds to travel up to the first floor and 24 seconds to return to the ground floor.

Should you need assistance there is a doorbell just outside the front door.

Our landline phone number is 01268 773535.
