You may have seen the couple of photos I added to the people shots topic, thought I'd put together something a little more complete.
There's not a great deal to this disused structure, both metaphorically and physically which you quickly determine once in! Little more than a skeleton of not particularly thick girders, hung with sheets of steel providing the smooth, gas-tight internals that it needed. Daunting? A little. Amazing? Absolutely.
It sounds ridiculous, but there's only one way round those huge smooth gas-tight walls to witness the inside. Yep, you guessed it.
The ladder is hung by some brackets from the top, suspended through mid air from top to bottom. It sways a little, although being so huge its a very slow sway... That really hits you when you stop for a rest on the ladder.

Great fun this place, makes you feel things that you don't often feel.
