Baron99 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) At last, something to be reasonably proud of in Sheffield. Watching Look North last night about a report on Sheffield University's Arts Tower's iconic paternoster lift. Apparently not only is it the largest, (highest presumably), paternoster lift in the world but the Arts Tower is the tallest university building in the UK.

taxman Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I went both over the top and under the bottom during my time at Uni. Sometimes if there was a big queue on the bottom floor to go up, it would be quicker to catch one on the way down and go round instead. It was usually OK but I did get stuck once and had to climb out. I remember during my graduation there was a reception on the tenth floor and my gran was a bit slow stepping off it and carried on up a few more floors before taking the leap.

EmmaJones76 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 A slow news day at Look North then, covering a lift that has been in a building for decades, truly top notch journalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paula4sheff Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 A slow news day at Look North then, covering a lift that has been in a building for decades, truly top notch journalism. 'Slow'? I think 'stone cold dead' might be more accurate! Remarkable that in a city the size of Sheffield, this is the nearest thing they could find to news!

That was actual newsworthy news in Sheffield yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
