I need to make a couple of apologies, the first because, due to overwhelming busy-ness, my Friday Photo has slipped over into Saturday. The second apology because I can find very little information to share with you on the subject of this week’s photo.
For as long as I remember, I have been drawn to these lifts. When I was a kid, I always thought them rather space-age! When a French pen-friend came over, they were one of the first things I showed her in our city (and we rode them too, which was rather entertaining as she was scared of heights!) I also remember seeing them in a TV series in the 80s/90s. Even now, though they have faded somewhat, I’m still impressed by them, I suppose the closest thing I have seen to them elsewhere is the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Do any of our Friday Photo audience know anything about them? When were they built? Do you love them or loathe them?
