The man who made Britain accessible

Secret Norfolk

Available for over a year

In the 1960s architect Selwyn Goldsmith used Norwich as a test location for disability architecture. Through his work the city became home to the first accessible public toilet in the UK and drop curbs were introduced that soon became common place across the country. Emma Craig finds out more about his work and what that means for disabled people today. Photo credit: Emma Craig / 麻豆社
