关于

快速信息: 其大厅地面铺有三万块瓷砖，呈棋盘格图案，整座建筑在20世纪50年代经公众呼吁后免于拆除。敏顿瓷砖地面面积巨大，一组修复人员光清洁就要花上好几个星期。

亮点: 敏顿瓷砖地板底下其实是空心的，建在带有弹性的木框架上，走上去会有轻微的弹动。在修复过程中，修复人员发现这地板原本设计成可以抬起移动，以便利用下方的空间做舞厅。

内部小贴士

Ask at the desk about the 'Hollow Floor' demonstration where staff show you how the tiles bounce.
The former jail cells in the basement are easy to miss but genuinely atmospheric.
Visit during a weekday in winter for the most dramatic light through the stained glass windows.
The free audio guide is thorough and adds excellent context about the courtroom and prison.
