Re: Challenge 1118: Shopping in Bungay
I thought I'd try change the window into a lift, but it was crazy. I never thought it would pose so many challenges.

Sorry Dennis. I'm usually praising you nowadays but I can't even begin to list the reasons that turkey is going to remain earthbound!

Interesting David, I had no idea. We only had a few British programs available here in Oklahoma, then only on the Public Broadcasting System and usually only late at night.

Benny Hill and then Monty Python are the only ones I can recall. British films were often shown and many of them are still among my favorites from the 50s' and 60s'.



Loyd, living in Oklahoma you have missed out on an amazing selection of programming from the BBC including comedy, wildlife, travel and drama to name just a few. Benny Hill and Monty Python are just the very tiniest tip of the iceberg. Pure world-class entertainment.


I have seen some of the wildlife films, and they were indeed world-class.

Dennis, You have made another 'wish I had thought of that' entries. Would be fun to try and animate it.

Lol...you've just got to love David. He writes a biography of a fiction character, places a control center in a display window and wonders if my lift would leave the ground...

Thanks Loyd.

Better do some research on cantilever platforms to devise how this immovable contraption is going to scale the building....

Careful with that interior upper windowsill. I hadn't applied perspective to it yet.

Not sure if this will help anyone but the shop is located next door to the Pex fish and chip shop on St. Mary’s Street, Bungay


Yes Gordon. That was very helpful - inspirational even.

Good timing Loyd! The drought and heat wave have just broken here with the first rains. Badly needed for the severe forest fires in the north of Belgium.

Anna what a bizarre leap of imagination. Bunghay on Nile.

Re: Challenge 1118: Shopping in Bungay
It is not commonly known that the small Norfolk town of Bungay has the oldest exterior lift in Britain. It provides access from basement and ground floor. It is seen here taking tourists to the viewing platform a dizzying three stories above the ground.

It is unusual in that it is the only lift in Britain to have not only passenger weight limits but passenger girth limits too.



Having teased Dwindt about his exterior lift it seemed only fair that I should put my money where my mouth is. I think I must accept that my turkey looks just as flightless. …….. and very cramped!

We have had 22 days of over 100° here, yesterday at 5:00 p.m. my car showed 110°, the day before 108°. Predictions are saying at least another week before temps get more normal... whoof! Drought will be around for quite some time, I'm much too old to deal with these heat extremes.

My entry had a bit of 'wishful thinking in it'.

Lovely imagination David. Well done.
Like I said though, not without its challenges...and why did you make a lift for "little people?" If you put your male in the doorway, he's only 3 and a half foot high and his partner, 3 foot? A 5 foot person would have to duck their head in your lift
