My first Furse! at the Deiniol shopping centre in Bangor, North Wales

Filmed in 2023. This is the second lift I've filmed while I was away in North Wales, I would have filmed more but we never got around to it. But I wanted to film at least 1 lift in Bangor, and I found a good 'un. This was located in a very small and run down shopping centre (in fact, the town is very run down). I thought there wouldn't be a lift as the shops were on 1 floor, but the lift was around the corner from there. The lift is a 1970's Furse, and my first one too. I firstly assumed it was a generic until I saw the logo still there, which is pretty unusual these days. I'm not sure if this is traction or hydraulic, but it has been modded a bit with the original indicator and fixtures removed and with a Dewhurst panel which has seen better days - the 4 button has been totally ripped out! When I said "bodged panel", I meant "worn out panel", but I wasn't in the best of all moods that day and that just came out lol...! But I was overall happy to have found a Furse!

The first Furse lift I remember was in Mother Care World - it was really amazing! The lift was inside a full sized fake tree with eyes and a heart beat noise. It did freak me out as a kid lol but I wish it was still here today as they went out of business and shut. No videos of them on KZbin but you can look on Google and see photos of it.

Awesome! Love the old knurled metal cab walls, used to be tons of them in old shopping centres like this. I hope no one needs to get to level 4 any time soon XD

Thanks, I do too. I know right lol, maybe the toilets on level 4 are closed hence the ripped out button...! 🤔

[@lovelifts1736]

[@Morgansliftadventures]

Nice, did you say North Wales in the title just so that people aren't confused with the Bangor in NI?

[@lovelifts1736]

Thanks, yes I did, though I would like to check out the lifts at Bangor NI at some point in the future 🙂
