Are new paternoster lifts still allowed? They always struck me as

No idea about being allowed.

The only places I have encountered them is on academic sites, univ.
Birmingham library (?), one univ. Oxford engineering (?) building.

And eleven-storey one at Leicester University as I remember, if it's
still there.

There used to be one at Aston University, but it was removed in the
1980s and the shafts rebuilt to take lifts.
