Visited on 24/5/24- A great day out, I totally recommend visiting this magnificent building ❤
its amazing what thy have done
Hi Paul what a wonderful video, great footage, keep up the great work you do 😊
thanks
More great work Paul, the orrigional was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott he did the Anglican cathedral Liverpool as well.
HI Paul, this is a little different. Battersea Power Station eh? A good idea to turn the power station into luxury apartments, and retail outlets, I'm all about re-tasking existing buildings instead of wasting energy building new ones, in the name of the climate and stuff. There didn't look much chop there on the water. Any challenges filming from a ferry. Going to the top of the stacks? Dude, I get vertigo bad now as an adult. I once walked over the old traffic suspension bridge on The Fourth, I looked up at the towers and I was all over the place. I daren't go near to the edge and look over. That brickwork looks like it's been upgraded too, re-pointed I think they call it. The shot you got there 4.12 - 4.23 looked like something you'd see on Tim Burton's Batman or something, very menacing, like a bad guy was about to be introduced. I loved it. Looks very Rustic inside too, nice. Look at that at 8.32, the contrast of the outside, to the dark interior, I'll bet it wasn't nice working there. Amazing what they've done with that building, I'm stunned. That presentation before you went in lift 109 was wicked. That panoramic view of London was brilliant, I know London is big, but I didn't think it was that big, it looks like it doesn't end, right to the horizon in every direction. When you were going up in lift 109 through the lighted circles, all I could think was Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) with Gene Wilder. I'm glad that there was no rain (in the clip at least) for your filming purposes, and I hope you had a good time in London. Thanks for the clip, I enjoyed it, take-care mate.
yeah it is a good idea, saves the building going to waste. Glad you liked it as you say something different but anfield build wont last forever. take care
The rate that the builders are going, and the way the management haven't managed the budget, Anfield might take forever, ha ha ha. But seriously, no need to be concerned, I enjoy your channel Paul, so I'll continue to watch, whatever.@@veryhighguy
Very different to the norm but enjoyed the footage. Was the trip up the lift free or is it a paid attraction? Actually don’t worry just found out….great shots btw👍🏻
yeah you have to pay. you are only up there for 8-9 Mins then the lift comes down
