Old Dive's History of Norwich Castle - Part the Twelfth - Episode II - Gabi's Glass Bridge

 
Before we start, let's just nip upstairs to the new café for a gander at the atrium.

Dan, Gabi and Natasha admire the view.

Here's a moment we've waited nine long years to enjoy.

Dan and Gabi on Gabi's Famous Bridge. Designed by Gabi, built in 3D by Old Dive, who also produced the construction drawings and overseen by Dan.



Old Dive's model of the bridge.


Looking back t'other way, towards the atrium lift, which will take wheelchair users (and anyone else who feels so inclined) to access the keep on the Great Hall level.


Hopefully, when you get to use it, the place won't be filled with folk in hi-viz jackets, arguing about deadlines.



And, last pics before we head inside the keep: the tiniest of my mediæval doors, hidden within the thickness of the castle wall, the sweet little double doors that close off the bridge out of hours.

I absolutely love that last photo. It must be so gratifying to see the project completed.

It's a great big sigh of relief, Robyn.

That model is super cool. And I’m with Robyn, that last photo is a stunner.
