History of the pentagon center in chatham

[angelinsatin]

what about the history?? like what was there before the pentagone was built i bet u dont know i have pics and everything

[MrElectroDan]

I remember in the 80s when their was an escalator next the Sainsburys, where the snack bar now is. Also, before the glass elevators and escalators either-side of them were built, there was a staircase opposite them which started roughly in front of the Post Office and went up towards where JJB sports now is. There were also some cool things to play on, like a huge snail made out of wood and metal, which you could climb inside, and a long snake that you slide in one end and out the other.

Why the blue elevator doesn't has blue doors?

[benobve]

@maalit72 all of the lifts were originally color coded with correct color doors, but over time the doors have been repainted but the names have stayed the same.
