Britain's first escalator

Britain's first escalator was installed in Harrods on Wednesday, 16 November 1898. Victorian customers were so overcome by the experience of riding a "moving staircase" that the store posted attendants at the top to administer brandy to gentlemen and smelling salts to the ladies.
