1. That woman clearly has a fear of escalators and has taken the necessary steps to avoid them.

2. Is that Hanley?

3. Boots in Cheltenham?

4. WALL-E vibes.

5. I’m gonna need a Sherpa guide and some rope.

6. Is there access to oxygen at the top?

7. So glad for the emergency stop button

8. [removed]

9. Tunbridge Wells boots?

10. Yes, they’re for people who can walk on flat ground but are unable to walk up stairs.

11. Peter Dinklage jumps that

12. Harrods has a shorter one

13. Are you sure? They look really small

14. Huh?

15. M&S in Leicester has a set of these bad boys

16. Ok you mofo you made me ugly laugh.. 😆

17. I have long believed that, having visited the famous Bude Tunnel, there was little else worth seeing within the UK… I must now admit that I was clearly wrong… on the upside, summer vacation plans are now falling into place…

18. Majestic

19. Well that escalated quickly

20. I find that hard to believe. I see no abandoned organ at the top.

21. Boots Cheltenham 100%

22. Aren’t they sweet!

23. I’m sure either Debenhams or BHS on Princess Street in Edinburgh used to have a set like these. Before they both closed down.

24. Imagine if these broke midway up you could really hurt your knee. Horrible horrible thought

25. Marks and Spencer’s in Eldon Square has some short escalators too.

26. What was QD and then Wilko in Norwich had a similar set. There was also a lift about ten metres away, so I really know why they felt these were necessary!

27. Niiice, a fine example of an Orenstein & Koppel shortened escalator, this is like an IWC or Stowa watch, fine German engineering with a very interesting history especially during WW2

28. Birmingham TK Maxx has some tiny ones too

29. Entrance to Victoria Place in London from Eccleston Bridge

30. I thought it was [Norwich Wilko](https://www.flickr.com/photos/iangallagher/6910123638) for a second there

31. Tunbridge Wells?

32. vertigo inducing..

33. Reminds me of the old TJ Hughes that was in Sheffield.

34. The Wilko in Bridgend used to have one just like this too, but only one not a pair

35. I was gonna say m&s Kingston

36. [I think these ones by Victoria station are almost as large](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-oneplus&sca_esv=597903993&sxsrf=ACQVn0-GUvEVzIvxogH80Kr9AqblgfrJDA:1705096577636&q=victoria+place+escalator&tbm=isch&source=lnms&prmd=ivmnbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiU8sTe69iDAxW9h_0HHW1uCVQQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=384&bih=704&dpr=2.81#imgrc=Z38pmkQrIJsrVM)

37. New look in brum? Granted I’ve not been there in years, and only used to go because my mum used to drag us there when we were kids.

38. These at Victoria are similar
