Nifty conspiracy theory, or fact?

Definitely fact as the system featured in a Rupert Bear annual which I
got one Christmas 40+ years ago. If I recollect correctly Rupert
(probably together with his friends Bill Badger and Algy Pug) entered
the system via a manhole in the road, descending by means of a spiral
staircase.

So the Holloway Road moving spiral conveyor *did* get built after all.
