I know there is the delivery lift but it wouldn't pass for the public to use. They would have to put a new one in to comply with regulations. Maybe upstairs will be used only as a stock room. If so, they would have to also have a staircase as a fire exit.

we have a Factory Shop in Stanley with an upstairs, the shop stocks clothes and footwear on the ground floor and on the first floor homeware, toys and electricals. I was in today and they have a really good selection of Christmas decorations. I think one opening in campbeltown is great and look forward to seeing the building full of life again.

If i remember correctly the first floor of the old Woothworths was never used ,or accessed , by the customers.
Did it not used to house the store room and offices?
The canteen was on the top floor,as I seem to recall?
It has been an awful long time since I was in the old sore room , about 33 years , so my memory may not be correct.
So , where have they installed a stair case to take the customers up to the first floor , as the stair case through the back door was the only emergency exit?

The stairs run along the "back wall" where the CD's used to be. They've also put in a new emergency exit at the bottom of the stairs leading out onto Shore St.
