its such a lovely building, and there you get the fire door ''modern stairwell' aha
True and so often the case. But then when did planning authorities ever consider minor details like the aesthetics of a centuries old house!
I suppose though you'd not be worried about the building's look if you were stuck on the third floor with a fire raging. Without doubt the fire escape was from the relatively brief period when the place was used for something else other than a domestic dwelling - I'm not going into detail because this place is under serious threat from kn*bbies who's raison d'etre is NOT exploration and I don't want them doing a Sherlock - suffice it to say a proper fire escape was a real neccesity for the occupants at that time.
