Sunk Flooring in houses

[Tockeyhead]

Has there been any houses in Liverpool that came with Sunk Floors built into like the one below?, just a curiousity.

We all know the Beatles lived communally in such a way, each had their own front door. ;)
I do like the extra trip bars employed in the picture above...progress eh?

I bet Ringo's old gaff in Madryn Street has a sunken floor.
The entire area is collapsing into a hole.
These Welsh Street eyesores should be demolished tomorrow, decrepit rubbish made of decayed bricks. Let anyone in favour of keeping them live in them.

I've looked at this photograph a number of times not being able to make up my mind if I like the sunken floor or not.

I've decided no.

Can't see the point of it.

Any muck and dust from the higher floor would drift down onto the sofas. :unibrow:

The place would have to be kept pristine.

The concept was the people who had this type of living style was they were making a statement ie look at us we're trendy and with it.

Its so out of date and I'd hate to think if I came in zogged on the loopy juice one night I might hurt meself falling down a hole or worst still tripping over those rediculous bars,H&S spin to mind here.

Yes, not very safe, and I can't see the point of walking down a few steps just to sit down.

It's just pretentious 'aren't we so chic and sophisticated'

Just had visions of George going flying into the sunken floor :D

I think my first recollection of seeing this type of living quarters was in "The Avengers" before Joanna Lumely?
