HORSE HOSPITAL ACCESS
The Horse Hospital is situated on a cobbled street, the front doorway is 95cm wide and has a step of approximately 10.5 cm high (at its largest point) to get inside. We have a ramp available for wheelchair users.
Once inside, there is a 134cm wide cobbled ramp (originally designed for horses) with 12 rubber ridges spaced approximately 50cm apart and one 90-degree corner (pictured), which leads directly into the basement. The first half of the ramp has a handrail on the left-hand side.
Please note that this ramp is steep and irregular.
Once in the basement, the toilet can be accessed through the door in the back right corner of the room. The doors to the toilet are 85cm and 70cm wide. There is one step down to the toilet, which is 14cm high (at its largest point). Once in the toilet, the room is approximately 1m wide and there are two handles on the walls on either side of the toilet.
The Horse Hospital is a challenging space to access for manual wheelchair users depending on weight and size, although not impossible. Please get in touch if you think you require extra support when visiting our premises, as we will endeavor to assist in whatever ways we can.
