I haven't been in that building for years! The inside looks nicer than I imagined. Nice find. My thanks also to the guy with the keys for showing you around. :)
If you look to your left at 1:10, there is a "Flohr Otis" logo. Interesting, that they are in the UK. Also welcome back!!! Is this Joesliftchannel? I heard that intro somewhere. Lol! :D
Actually there might be a simpler explanation - There use to be a sports direct on level 1, and the M&s buttons weren’t working but it was just serving the Sports Direct location. So when that close, the lift wasn’t required.
I remember this lift from my holidays over the years, how long has it derelict for? I’m sure the half door buttons used to be labelled Marks and Spencer, which used to be next to this lift, I wonder if you used to be able to access M&S from the rear door passages years ago.
Lee Thomas I think it has been for a year or two. They were in the process of getting parts for it as it wasn't leveling correctly so I'd imagine it hasn't been a huge time. When did you last see it working? Did it have a cool motor sound and was it two stage leveling like some of the old relay lifts?
Sam Sitar those tubes are fuses. There's technically 2 main floors and two half levels where the rear doors go into Sports Direct and the other side gain access to the service passages
Michal M It was left like this because it wouldn't stop at the floors correctly and it seems they are awaiting parts for it before they can put it in service. A shop owns this lift and apparently there's plans to modify the shopping centre and install a new lift to go up to a bar on the roof area
@@harrisonhealey1679 I see. What a shame, I know of a similar old Otis lift requiring the same attention, only I'm not sure what part needs replacing. It's a set of 2, one is still going, and they intend to keep it going until it breaks down, the other one requires a part which cannot be bought any more. It will be a shame to see this one go as it looks in very good condition.

Nice video of a lovely old lift.
MJH19 it was a lucky discovery, this lift might be replaced completely in the future as there is plans to update the shopping centre
Very nice! The machine type an 10AT.
Time to convert the lift to PLC logic.

Great video, what town is this please? Cheers 👍👍
2 years later that lift is still abandoned... went there only a couple of days ago!
Anything hiding in the back of that Citroen Utility truck? Maybe it's where the security guard takes his nap? ;)
what are three ground floors used for? what are the tubes inside the relay cabinet?

1983 was the year I started on otis
Shame. Was it abandoned due to lack of parts, or did it just break down?
