Historic England Opposed to London Liverpool Street Station Upgrades
A £1.5 billion upgrade to London’s Liverpool Street Station is facing objections from heritage groups who fear its impact on the Bishopsgate Conservation...
Read Full ArticleApex Lifts was responsible for the installation of two new, 90 person (6,750kg) lifts in 2012. The company renovated the 40-person, two-floor, Grade II listed lifts, and restoring disabled access to the Woolwich foot tunnel. The Sidcup based manufacturer is known for installing lifts in unusual and historic buildings, with a number of Grade I listed structures, including the Lloyd’s Building and Windsor Castle, featuring in its portfolio.
“It is incredibly exciting to be involved in a project with such a rich heritage and culture,” stated Warren Jenchner, MD, Apex Lifts. “This is the first time since the tunnels were built over 100 years ago. While we’ve updated the technology, we’ve retained what we could of the original lifts. The 1912 original panels were removed, restored, polished, and reused. The newly renovated lifts are now in operation, looking great, and running smoothly.”
