ground floor

There were four rooms on the ground floor and a main stairway to the second floor.

The buyer of the first tranche was like the owner of the ground floor in a flood: He got hit with the first wave of mortgage prepayments.

The Market Gallery has since opened but has been forced to move upstairs into the former Wilko's storage area as the ground floor is unusable.

An area on the ground floor of the manor was being set up as a welcome center, gift shop, café and mini-theater.

The ground floors of some buildings are propped up by scaffolding and appear on the verge of collapse and in some areas rubble is piled high as diggers continue the reconstruction work.
