"Another poster correctly stated that our grandfathers walked down (from 1904) without complaint. However I doubt if its their grandchildren who walk down the stairway now." -I doubt there'd have been many local punters in 1904 as the area was largely undeveloped till the interwar period, only (or mostly) workers in the few canalside factories, who in that grisly era would have been expected to put up with anything. Significantly, the original escalator scheme (stymied by WW2) came alond when the area had been or was becoming fuly developed. |
