Baron99 Â Â 775 #1 Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) At last, something to be reasonably proud of in Sheffield. Â Watching Look North last night about a report on Sheffield University's Arts Tower's iconic paternoster lift. Â Â 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   12 #2 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.

paula4sheff   10 #6 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!

Â Lol to you Emma, Paula4Sheff & Buddysbuddy. Â Never thought of it like that. No mention of exactly why Look North were presenting the story? Thought it might have been the anniversary or maybe preservation of the lift? Â Tonight's main story is a bloke called Huntsman has named a steel process, (whatever that is?), after the Crucible Theatre?
