Wandering around the cathedral, I stumbled upon this inviting staircase (above). Note the use of a rope rather than handrails. A nice medieval touch, if maybe not up to current building codes. :-)
Upstairs were cases of "church plate" from churches around Norwich.
Going down was actually a bit more challenging than coming up, especially for people with big feet like mine. :-)
I've never seen a rope staircase like this. Seems like a practical solution!
ReplyDeleteSubí a una de sus dos torres en la catedral de Cádiz y en las escaleras, para agarrarse, había una cuerda gruesa, como esta.

I've never seen a rope staircase. Maybe a lot easier to install rather than guardrails.
