Accessibility

The buildings at New River Head have lain unused since the 1950s and the condition of the site reflects this.

Please be aware that this site currently has:

- cobbled paving leading up to the buildings

- dust, steps and uneven ground inside the buildings

- no lift access to upper level floors

- limited places to rest

- no toilets

Most of the tour will be spent moving around the site.

We recommend:

- wearing sturdy shoes

- dressing for the weather

- wearing a face mask in dusty inside spaces
