The Service Wing is of a long and low construction to the east of the main edifice. Its ground floor was the centre of activity for all the work required to cook, clean and keep the guests in the manner which they would expect. The principal staff, the Butler and the Housekeeper, had their own rooms and the several staircases provided ready access to the basement and first floor. Outside the trademan's entrance, Alfred de Rothschild originally kept coaches and carriages. However, Alfred demonstrated his love of new technology with an early introduction of a fleet of chauffeur-driven motor cars.
