Taken by renowned photographer John Gay between 1966 and 1975, this image offers a unique glimpse into the interior of this architectural gem. The glazed, spiral stair turret takes center stage as it gracefully winds its way downwards.

As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount.
