Is this a scissor-hydraulic lift (rather than a conventional inground hydraulic lift)? Do you know if this lift still exists?
@leethomas843 ай бұрын
The lift still exists for now, all buttons have been replaced but it otherwise original. It is a scissor style lift. This facility is due to be decommissioned in the next 10yrs, the lift will go with it.

Sorry to say but the lifts been modernised. It’s now some generic that looks insanely cheap. The bit were the stairs escalator and lift were was behind a gate but I managed to get my phone through one of the holes. It’s probably a staff room if anything so I don’t think they will open it up anytime soon. Perhaps if another store comes they will open it up but we’ll see. Also it’s now one of those tacky charity shops

Anyone remember the huge lifts at heelas that used to be available to the public in the 80s? They are now off limits to the public and are used by staff for goods use. They had these huge doors that opened from the bottom up

I’ve heard about these, but not seen them. I was told they were used when the rear extension first opened, but the glass lifts weren’t ready yet.

Totally, no original lifts left anywhere in the centre now which is a shame. I can remember when John Lewis has a circular Schindler lift up to the cafe at the front of the store.

The few original lifts in the centre i can think of are Zara, Waterstones in midsummer place, sports direct, h&m, Xscape's Schindler and the former Debenhams lifts. I don't think I was around when the circular lift in John Lewis existed. When was it removed?
