History continued...

The studio was on the first floor of, what had been, a Victorian milking parlour!

46a Old Church Street, Chelsea London SW3 - Today!
(Notice the head of a cow right at the top of the building at the back! See picture top right of page.)

The black door, left, replaces the gragage shutter that was our main entrance!

    The Studio was on three floors. Entry was by a small door within a rusty steel roller shutter. At ground level was something resembling a garage with a cobbled floor. At the far end was a manually operated lift. To the right of this lift was a narrow entrance leading to a set of quite wide white concrete stairs. These led to a small, again, concrete landing, with an entrance to the studio on the first floor. The floor had a gentle slope towards the lift access at the far end. The slope was there so that when the cows were hosed down, the slope would drain off the water. There were two stairways up to the second floor.

One led to the control room, the other to the office. This, second staircase, is worth a mention because we made it ourselves from Dexion angle iron.
