We take the steps up to the second floor.
I assumed the vertical ladder simply exited onto the roof but after reviewing my pictures, it must give access
to a windowless third floor. At the time of writing, this remains unexplored.

Stairs to the second floor with loft hatch access to the third.

"The mystery third windowless floor! Well it was/is a huge four foot deep water tank. This was used
to cool the engine and Dynamometers in the event of
the pump house failing. There was a valve that
would allow the water to flow under gravity and cool
things so that control remained and the engine wasn't
damaged." - Pete
