Please forgive my question as I'm still trying to get my head around the different ways of wiring lights, having a light that can be controlled by two different switches, etc.
Currently there are some lights in the house which are configured as so...
Entrance Hall Switch:
Exterior Front Light
Entrance Hall Light
Former Hall Switch:
Former Hall Light
Upstairs Hall Light
Upstairs Hall Switch:
Upstairs Hall Light
I want to change it to this, and looking for some advice on the wiring that would be needed:
Entrance Hall Switch:
Exterior Front Light
Entrance Hall Light
Upstairs Hall Light
Upstairs Hall Switch:
Entrance Hall Light
Upstairs Hall Light
This also involves removing one light switch entirely, and removing the Former Hall Light...
Not comprehensive, but here is some images of the wiring:
Entrance Hall Switch:
Three sets of wires going to the switch.

I realise this doesn't make it clear what the exact layout of the relevant wiring is like around the building, but I'm hoping that with my stated requirements (plus the current images making it clear what method of wiring has been used before) it will make it possible to at least gain the advice on how the wiring will need to be afterwards. If any other info about the current wiring layout is required then I will provide...
