It was an eerie sight. The floors were heaped with debris and pigeon droppings and the occasional bird flapped around in the gloom. What light there was I think came down from the skylight above the stairwell. While we were there a well-known local architectural historian arrived to make his own final farewell. He didn't seem surprised that we were there but told us to "have a good look round because it's the last chance you'll have."
