Pennine tower old Otis goods lift + motor room (Lancaster services)

mrmattandmrchay is joined by mrphill100 to film this epic tower.
This is the Moto Lancaster motorway services on the M6 (originally Forton services) - more details below.

We start off with an old otis lift used to transport supplies from the loading bay.
In the next video we continue into the abandoned "Pennine" tower and explore the main motor room which still runs the passenger lifts.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE TOWER:
Opened in 1965 with the name Forton services, it was the second service station to open on the motorway (Charnock Richard being the first), and is named after the nearby village of Forton. The architect was T.P. Bennett and Son and it was originally operated by The Rank Organisation.

Opened in 1965. The services is notable for an unusual hexagonal concrete tower on the northbound side, named The Pennine Tower, which originally housed an up-market restaurant and a sun deck. The tower was designed to resemble an Air Traffic Control Tower and is a prominent local landmark. The tower closed to the public in 1989 due to current Fire Regulations (there is no means of providing an alternative exit from the restaurant deck in an emergency).
The original Otis pentagon-shaped elevators which served the tower are still used to service the ground floor and first floor of the building.
The Tower was listed Grade II on 15th October 2012
