the oldest escalator in Hong Kong, still in active use

For music lovers, this escalator may be a familiar sight. This entrance location possibly began with some bronze-like finishing, classy deco _[1], which led to the music shop from Uk. 
Into the spacious floor, you may find records of almost all kinds of music and it had lasted for over a decade around the millenium.

It is the oldest public escalator still in active use in Hong Kong now. _[2] It is located at ground floor of the Central Building. In fact, the building was completed in two phases, 
the first section near Gloucester Building by March 1958. _[3] Inset in above photo shows an artistic illustration with the elevator.

Information on the internet says its completion year is unsure (whether 1958 or 1960). But I think with the more information available, it may be further clarified. _[4]

In the present day, this goes all the way to the open space over Landmark's atrium, and beyond. 
Of greater interests, here may be a bypath to promenade into this historical space with natural light, across a 2nd-floor altitude. Not just the Gluocester Building (1932-1977).
Actually, stretch from Queen's Road Central to the atrium, up to the then praya, had been housed under one roof, across time, the once Hongkong Hotel (full scope c.1892). _[5]

This is a rather quiet, comfortable walk. In a less congested CBD nowadays, there is more room to pause, look and feel in between 130 years... as you'd like.
