There is an awful lot of love and attention in this video.
Its very easy to dismiss the everyday and commonplace and not "see" the world we inhabit.
This video if discovered a thousand years in the future paints a picture that is closer to our reality than most of the videos uploaded to TH-cam.
Thanks for the video John.
I had stopped boozing for months before I started watching this . I have now started again....
That's the grottiest car park I've ever seen. Surprised the elevator still even works.
I remember going to Wood Green in the late 90's and parking in the car park and went to use the lift and as the doors opened, there was a guy having a wee. I got back in my car and went home. Never been back since lol
This is a modernised Bennie.
ccityplanner12 or express.
Looks EXACTLY like the recently condemned carpark/lift at our beloved Anglia Square in Norwich!
On that lift, if you remove the stainless steel veneer you will find under that a wood finish Formica sheet, somewhat scuffed and tatty. Under that there will be a thin plywood oak veneer bonded to a steel, panel likely dating back to 1930 to 1940. Long and narrow, so originally an Otis or Express, though it has been upgraded from swing doors to automatic doors, though it probably still has the original motor, brake and gearbox on the top of that shaft, and the original guide rails, emergency brakes and bottom and top electrical final stop switches and the rebound bumpers. Might still have the original shaft lighting as well, or at least the original conduit and wiring. Probably still has the original oak or teak floorboards under the tiling though.
I found more funny the many different buttons. 1 board at door, 1 board at side and 1 board at the backside. In Germany and Thailand all lifts/elevator have a sign with name, wich year build in, how many people inside or weight ...
I feared for JWs life walking around that car park, was just waiting for him to get stabbed. Glad you're still alive mate!
I was hoping for a tour of the substation too. I guess that's in the next video :-)
Planet Earth looks like a fascinating place.
It would be cool to see a video about a paternoster lift.
Such a shame they don't make them anymore , so efficient.
That lift reminders me of Doctor Who's box. Now, I wonder which alternative realities we'll get if we press buttons A,C,E or G. I hope none of those will call Daleks to the car park.
I find the elevator videos strangely pleasing. I'm thankful I don't live in an area what has deprivation
the lift looks like it was recovered from a sea or something
The "help point" would mainly be for use in a fire situation if there's someone on that floor who can't use the stairs. Pretty grotty... Cannock Market Hall in the late 1970s (but before the opening of the Mac Market store there on 4 July 1979) had only grotty and often unreliable lifts. The new one for Mac Market served the "new" level 1 of the car park (it effectively had three level 1 floors - the Mac Market car park, the Gemini restaurant and the Market service level) and odd levels 5 to 11 (there was no level 3 at all!). Later upgraded to a pair of lifts, and now the main lifts for the entire car park.
I love these videos, please do some more!
I don't do this type of video very often, but there will probably be more at some point.
@@jwflame Oh yes! That's great to hear. I look forward to seeing them!
Nice place Poole but let down by it's lifts.
I wonder how safe the elevator is and how well (or bad) the maintenance is performed.
I had the same thoughts, i wouldn't trust that elevator.
It is probably very reliable but if the logic has been replaced it may not be as safe as it was originally
I know the one you mean, it also leads to Market Street. I lived in Oakdale up until eight years ago, what tee'd me off with Poole council is they put double yellow lines on nearly all of the roads in the town which means you have to either use these grotty multistory car parks or pay 80p an hour to park on the road either way parking in Poole is a rip-off! Thanks for posting John.
Do we call this a vlog?
I thought you were going to show the lift mechanism and controller etc... still we did get an idea of the smell ambience of the scene.
would be awesome if you could get permission to go into the motor room and film it. we've all seen lifts. we haven't seen lift motor rooms.
So it was John who started the trend of urban exploration videos.
You said a funny John! I'm impressed, don't think the bird was though but he probably thought the same about you.
Thanks for the tour.
The transformer yard was very small. Obviously to work in amongst the transformers, they would need to be de-energised; so safe clearances would become academic.
As for the appearance of the area, I always had the impression that Poole was kind of well-to-do. Perhaps it was once. My part of east London (London Borough of Waltham Forest) actually looks posh compared to that part of Poole.
Best video on TH-cam. IMHO
What's your favourite lift(s)? Mine has to be the ones in Friends House, Euston Road. Complete with that wonderful whooping sound that old lifts had. If you listen to anything that was recorded there you can hear the Whoop every now and then, I love it :(
A close second is an open lift that is always moving, you have to step on and off in motion. It is still in operation in Munich and I even saw it in a German film one time.
Why didn't you test the help point intercom?
Now we may never know whether or not it actually works.
Or are you intending to do a follow up, "High Street Shops Car Park - The Sequel"
John I have just stumbled across your videos.. they are brilliant.. this one is both brilliant and terrifying.. 😁 very odd indeed!
Does that lift still exist ?
I just love these lift reviews. One of my highlights of the evenings viewings.
It is so nice to experience these elevators, with expert observation, commentary and thorough videoing.
It is extremely important, that more people should become aware of the overall practical status of their local elevator services.
Thank you again John, for your dedication and committment.
John Ward have you seen a Dalby lift lately? comments and opinions please.
YEEEE
It’s a more unusal one but I think it’ll need some work soon. The door is rusting on the ground floor and just feels like it needs something. At least the motor sounds original but the stopping certainly needs work.
you always are guaranteed to see those fast food fed birds in shopping areas, they get food for threpence a ton
"Upgraded with three sets of buttons", okay great but it begs the question.. Why?
Probably so you can hit the button for your floor when someone's parked a pram across one of the other sets, three seems a bit much though.
+Motorman2112 That makes perfect sense, a pram or cart would block one or more sets. Thank You!
I agree that 3 is an overkill. The 1 panel at the front of the lift is fine.
Shame to see those light fittings and etc in such a state of disrepair. Catch22 though since lack of maint & upkeep is often where vintage stuff survives (excluding vandalisation of course)
Don't joke about a sea gull feeding a family for a week, no doubt it happens these days. Lmao.
people are eating our swans and geese, Bedford uk
Hi John What a fantastic video the sort of thing i like. I have got another youtube channel in winch i do various repairs (electronic and appliances etc also I am certified) well I have not put much in there lately but I may change things and put a couple of your type of videos on it. I do watch mostly all your videos and like them all and i love your dry sense oh hummer lol.
Paul
John is this a piss take or are you a lift spotter or something
I hope John does more lift spotting. I'm really enjoying these outdoor videos.
That one is lift #11501150x - BlueBridget lift of dorset lol
its in my lift spotting book
Lifts are great.
I love lifts, hope he does more.
Well I guess you aren't immune to vandalism over there anymore than we are in the U.S.
Needs more buttons.
lol
Could have used more detail about that substation.
I cant believe I 've just tried to find this car-park on Google Maps...
errrr, ummmm, Hmmm. Slightly off the normal content of your channel JW. But I know more now than I did before I watched it. So job done, I guess. Next time you are in Northampton could you do a video on the bus station? lol
good job you weren't using a fish eye lens.
dolphin center?
No, it's further down the High Street. Entrance in Hill Street via Dear Hay Lane if driving.
Why??? Lift tours??
ahaaaa! Stalk! www.google.co.nz/maps/place/High+Street+Shops+Car+Park/@50.7152109,-1.9866466,235m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4873a6ef4261a3b3:0x745c1c49fd59b14d!8m2!3d50.7152345!4d-1.9859076
why this video???
Eric
Time to kill, John?
In my experience, lifts like that often smell of urine.
You, sir, are an optimist. Lifts like that _always_ smell of urine...
broken Britain..
A chinese family could feed that elevator for weeks.
not very safe
Motor sounds nice tho, I bet it now has rubbish Lester controls or similar logic.
Ahh crap it's been modernised 😬😬😬 wonder what it was before?
Knuckles the Echidna beno said it was a Bennie
I don't mean to be funny
but don't you think it is a bit weird to be doing a video about a lift in a car park
I was just about to start looking at your vid's on a regular basis,as they looked promising- but after this one I will not ,and will not be recommending them to anybody
concerned!!
