The trap door in the floor at the bottom was for the powder store. Powder could then be winched up to the gun decks as needed, hence the circular stairs.

Thanks for commenting on my work. This is a great shot. The spiral captures the eye and doesn't let go. I hope to visit England some day. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Arizona. jw

Thanks forthe comments JW ans YBMW. It was one of those shots that was "just there", I could not fail to take it (although I had to lean a long way and almost ended at the bottom).

No lift I'm afraid, although originally there was a pully system to lift ammunition up to the gun levels from the magazines, which are located below the trap door in the floor.
