EU10-0264 The main corridor of Lafrowda J1.

[Above] Inside the main corridor to J1. The picture faces south-west. To the left are various doors leading to the cleaning cupboard, toilet, bathroom, and kitchen (distant). On the wall to the left is an intercom, which I think was connected to the outside. This enabled the inside user (assuming they wanted to answer it) to unlock the main door for those without the code, giving access to the internal communal areas.
