  • You missed out on the old lift shaft up the main stair case where the pendulam denoteing the rotation of the world now hangs ,this was occupied by a late 18'century attendant controlled bottom drive Marryat and Scott with round guides and midbar picket gates.It was scrapped as it had become delapedated and an eye sore ,and wasent "worthey of historical importance"you can still see whare it used to run last time I was there the landing gates still remained.

  • @keithhuddy An old Marryat & Scott is never an eye sore and is very historicly inportant.

    I am suprised that the science musem did not want to keep their old lift. They have also replaced their vertical door lift.

  • @benobve I wonder what BM stood for in the last set of lifts on 3:32

  • @Cazkumali basement mezzanene

  • Does the lift go to G,2and2M

  • Its their words not mine , in a e,mail reply from them after I asked them what happened to it and why it wasent there any more .

    I suspect it wasent in keeping with their "modern image"they were trying to project when they refurbished the museam ,They could have easely restored it to it original glory and made it a focal point and been more long sighted in the fact the longer it stayed there the more interesting it would become.

    Yes I do remember the big goods lift with bi parting doors .

  • You know In the second set of lifts which lift talked

  • Cool, I was in 1 of those lifts that too public floor to floor for exhibitions. Some one in the lift selected a floor when we got to this floor the door did not open. People in the lift were beginning to worry so I pulled the doors open and let them out and found a sign elsewhere indicating that the floor was closed off to public.

    Good Video tour
