The London Access Lift is a set of vertically retracting stairs with a stair profile to the side which rises with the lift.
This lift was installed into the Rochester Bridge Trust. This was because Rochester’s medieval Bridge Chapel and Victorian Bridge Chamber are striking heritage buildings, but were not built with accessibility in mind. As part of the 2020 refurbishment, the forecourt was subtly raised to remove the step at the Chapel door, allowing easy access to the entrance hall of the adjoining Victorian building. However, the four steps in the split-level hall, a key historic feature, had to remain, so another solution was needed - a Sesame Lift!
