(The final) Old lifts of bracknell town centre tour - (4) Bentalls

PART 4 - I have long memories of Bentalls... As I child we used to visit the restaurant in Bentalls all the time. I used to collect the plastic butter pots, take them home and pretend they were lift buttons (as they were similar to the original Express Lift buttons - see video at 2:20). The call buttons and displays on the outside have been replaced within the last 10 years and screwed over the top of the original Express panel (you can still see the orange direction arrow that pokes out at the top). Glad this one still has most of its original character, although the speed control seems to have gone. Before you could feel the car 'stepping up its speed' as it accelerated. But now the lift seems to only have 2 speeds - very slow and slow! See the 2008 vs 2013 race! (03:17) Here is the link again for the RETIRING CAM video, what it looks like and what it does...    • VERY CREEPY old Bennie Lifts (1970) with S...   ...then go forward to 07:40 to watch it in action. And here is a link to the "Express Lifts push button examination" vid...    • Видео   ---------Generic info about these videos----------- Bracknell has special memories for me... My nan and granddad lived here and over my childhood I got to know Bracknell quite well. I first realised that I had an interest in lifts from when my Nan would take me round the lifts in the town centre. Secretly I was scared of the lifts, but there was something about them that I liked which developed into an interest. Sadly my nan passed away last Christmas (2013). She was a kind lady that treated everyone the same and never judged anyone. Something else about Bracknell is, until now, things haven't changed much and some of the lifts that I remember are still there! But "here today, gone tomorrow" is a realistic proverb in this video - Bracknell is being massively redeveloped and is finally moving away from it's 1970s town centre design which inevitably takes away my memories of the town centre as I knew it. SO...ONE LAST TIME, this time with some supporting documents (and possibly with some "too much information" parts lol), lets do the BRACKNELL LIFT TOUR ONE LAST TIME...! ---------------- ##PART 5 COMING SOON##
