70s/80s office building URBEX

[@BuddyClubP1]

Do some overnight challenges like the house of fraser one, they were so sick

[@LucasTheElectrostar]

The area is so clean, this building would be the perfect place for an overnight challenge!

[@historiclift27]

I have seen a double dumbwaiter similar to the one here working. I was a kid and it was from a distance as someone walked through a door. It was used for books in my city’s central library. Both sides moved continually with a stop switch in between. Appeared to function much like a paternoster.

[@xixi560]

Lmao cuz was cleaning his car Beno you're funny as

[@Landie_Man]

I can smell the decaying ceiling tiles from here! 13 years of urbexing and I just know what that place smells of right away. That sharp sort of damp smell which gets right in your nose. It’s ceiling tiles :D

[@urban_fox_cub_urbex]

Hey Harry! Yeah this place smells of that! Been here so many times and still don’t get bored!

[@aunabreslingaming3279]

That earthy black/green mold smell

[@Landie_Man]

@@aunabreslingaming3279 it’s rotting ceiling tiles usually

[@SejLifts]

I love how Ben checked the motor room first, and the lift itself after

[@SamSitar]

destroying a building like that is a MASSIVE mistake.

[@donpoIlo2982]

Surely it could've been used for housing

[@TonyLing]

The Kuntz who own these things are interested in nothing else but profit.

[@andyg3]

boring office block. needs demolishing fast

[@PneumatinisPlaktukas15]

@@andyg3 Looks way better than the shitty glass skyscrapers which are built today. I hope more of these are preserved.

[@interstat2222]

@@PneumatinisPlaktukas15 Must be 1970s. Things were built a lot more robustly then. Now we are back in the kit/prefab era so most parts can be pre-assembled off-site. I don't know which is better from a lifetime aspect but we are very wasteful with commercial buildings in this country.

[@LucasTheElectrostar]

Since this area is so clean, you should do an overnight challenge here. Its the perfect area for a stay with no security!

[@LewisMerrin]

Good video beno 👍

[@wagwanbennydj6003]

Security cleaning his car 🤣🤣🤣

[@FLCollection620]

Lots of fluorescent lights!!!!!!!

[@interstat2222]

Probably mostly Philips and Thorn Lighting, both huge in the UK at the time.

7:42 The toilet paper roll is concerning 💀

[@serbianelevators]

I love urban exploring!!!!

[@SamSitar]

clean buildings make it easy.

[@crazyleyland5106]

The sound of the first lift freefalling reminded me of an old canal boat engine.

[@IanGSully]

Why are some people so protective of buildings when they are going to get demolished anyway? It's stupid!

[@urban_fox_cub_urbex]

Mate that was done well! Good video that now onto the next ;) :)

[@Ele.Vation.13]

Very nice video 👍

[@traversrudd4976]

Hi Beno, I know this building so well, (I wont name it) continually occupied since it was built in 1965 I think, by the PSA. I was responsible for having it cleared out and handing it back to the landlord, which took months, that was 2 years ago, Interesting to learn that the developers haven't moved on with it yet. That dumb waiter hadn't been used for years, nor the generator. I'm a fan if your cheap flight adventures, you should get sponsorship from Ryanair!

[@interstat2222]

I figured it was 1970s but probably had some internal updates along the years. Useful info you give btw.

[@xtradense6229]

The building is in very good shape and would probably be great for some flats. Maybe they could turn it into some flats or a school. But to demolish it? That is just a waste of a great building. Sad that the express lifts have been modernized. It seems that lifts stay in the building for a long time then they decide to modernize and the building just gets abandoned.

[@hexstorm4816]

Is there anyway I always wanted to see what’s in Chatham Pentagon office I never seen any videos on I really want to see what’s it like in it also love you videos 🙂

8:56 Bro's found the backrooms

[@donpoIlo2982]

Creepy! Reminds me of the backrooms

[@SejLifts]

💀

[@EdgyNumber1]

A shooting range? What the hell was this place?

[@interstat2222]

Architecture style looks like police/military HQ or something.

[@stevemaxted6679]

What a waste of a perfectly fine old building

[@jakubukasiak2425]

I think you should eat some radioactive waste from the barrels at 11:54. It looks yummy!

[@johnrauner2515]

How do you release the brake to move them if there is no power?

[@Ele.Vation.13]

Manual brake release? 😁

[@Ele.Vation.13]

*that's even necessary to free stuck people when there's a power outage (in general)

[@wisteela]

Fantastic looking building. Such a shame it's being demolished. Such a stupid utter waste.

[@aleksandarvukelic7716]

[@Andrewjg_89]

Maybe this should be used for a converted hostel for Ukrainians fleeing the war in Ukraine with Russia. Real shame that it’s not being used anymore.
