LIFT BLOCK HELL HOLE - Derelict Car Park 5 Bracknell (Pigeons are no excuse!!)

Pigeons have taken up residence in this old lift block. But that's not an excuse not to visit the 1970s lift motor room (the things I do for youtube!).
PLEASE READ THE WARNING - DANGER OF DEATH, PLEASE DON'T COPY!!
This is a remake containing some new and 'remastered' footage. Synchronised music takes you into this derelict and quite frankly DISCUSTING HELL HOLE! But sometimes it's completely necessary to get access to these places that are frozen in time.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?
Tune into part 2 - is it still the same, or worse??!

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SAFETY AND KZfaq:
My channel does not promote or glamourise dangerous activities like lift surfing.
This is a RESPONSIBLE and RESPECTABLE channel.
• Teaching KIDS TO SURF ...
I've seen recent evidence of kids surfing, or attempting to surf lifts which was also shown in THE SUN and THE MIRROR newspapers (click above link, read description).
VERY WORRYING...
• Video
It goes without saying that KZfaq is a public platform and our channels are popular with kids, and kids are influenced by what they watch. I'd like to think these kids didn't get the idea from my channel.
A warning in a video DOES NOT exonerate you if harm should come to a kid that was copying something that YOU have portrayed as a fun activity.

THE MRMATTANDMRCHAY CHANNEL, established 2008:
I'm passionate about uploading quality and interesting videos for YOU, my audience.
What is my channel about? "Old lift machinery made interesting", old air-raid sirens, prehistoric alarm equipment. If "I" don't find it interesting ...then IT DOESN'T GET UPLOADED!
I always spend a lot of time editing my videos with animations, video in-sync with music and voice overs to make them this way.
My moto - "Quality NOT Quantity" - spending a month editing a video is not a rarity!
But without you, I'm nothing here. Thank you so much for watching.

THANK YOU very much for watching :)

I lived in Bracknell from 1978-80 - first job out of university. All the road names were in alphabetical order where I stayed so you couldn’t get lost. One of my friends lived in the single high rise apartment building - octagonal. It had a scary lift, metal walls, no indication of where you were, no windows, but too high to climb the stairs!

@mrmattandmrchay 2 жыл бұрын

I think you mean that 20 storey hexagon building in Rectory Lane? That was very near to where my nan lived. Went there years ago, modern Kone lifts. Often wondered what type of lifts they once were. Interesting about the road names. Thanks for comment.

@mrmattandmrchay 2 жыл бұрын

The 'hidden trap door' is the secondary access doors where you see down to the lift lobby. Stand on one of these and it'd give way and you'd end up falling into the lift lobby! In the second visit, you can't see it because it's covered up. Good hazard perception is required in places like this.

@SeanBZA 2 жыл бұрын

Probably council did not want to have the maintenance headache, as it is not their property, but was owned by 3M, so when they moved out they cancelled all the services. A case of who owns it, and who pays for upkeep, as likely the income from charging for the car parking was predicted to be less than the operating cost of upkeep of the lifts, and the rates on the land. Owner does no want to pay the difference, council does not want to pay, and only Interpark would have been getting money out of the deal, along with Otis. both would demand 24 hour security as well, adding to the expenses.
