I feared that might well be the case. I suspect some places are simply breaking the law, but I just cannot do that. Thanks for letting me know your position. It makes me feel less bad! Kate

Dear Kate -
I work in a museum housed in a Grade 1 listed building, built in the 17th
century.
We also have illuminated signs above the doors which are fire exits, and it
has never been up for negotiation - either with fire officers, the county
council, or English Heritage. We have to have the signs!

Hello All
I'd be really grateful for advice or experiences from those of you running
historic houses. We are just recreating as authentically as we can an
Elizabethan kitchen and parlour in what was a post reformation town house
and ex-monastery fragment in Exeter.
Having gone to enormous trouble to get things right we are now told we have
to have illuminated exit signs in very prominent places within those
historic rooms. I have been in plenty of other places where this isn't the
case. Now either everyone's breaking the law or they've had seriousl y
successful negotiations with their Fire Officers.
If anyone out there has managed to negotiate having less intrusive
approaches I'd really like to hear from you! Many thanks in advance....
Kate
