A group of ladies taking advantage of Boot’s Wembley Specials at Nottingham Victoria Station, which I assume was some kind of day trip put on by Boot’s for it’s employees. Not sure of the date, was found by my girlfriend who works at Boot’s head office, so I assume it’s from their archive, not seen it before
Nottingham Victoria Station – Booking Hall Lifts
Here is a render of what the lifts in Nottingham Victoria Station *might* of looked like. Worked out from little clues we found on photos and the floor plans.
“It was only used by rail staff and not for passengers. The panel inside the lift only showed the level of each floor I.e Floor 1, Floor 2, Floor3. When in use you would press the button of the floor you wanted and the lift would take you directly there. There was an alarm bell on each floor and this would be sounded when the lift was in use and also to warn other users who may have left the lift door open , to close them .”
