Nood stop is Flemish I think, so this must be somewhere in Belgium or maybe Holland. Given the amount of water around in the latter I'll go for Belgium. And hence this must be the background.
No wooden escalators left on LU, so this must be Greenford before decomissioning, or else in the LT museum. It's the anniversary of the decomissioning.

Nood Stop is Flemish/Dutch for Emergency Stop. I'll suggest that it is from the pedestrian tunnel under the River Scheldt (spelling?) in Antwerp, which when I visited it many years ago had wooden treads on its escalators.

Could also be the Tyne Tunnel before they took the second escalator out for an inclinator type thing

Wooden escalator is definitely at Sint-Annatunnel Antwerp . The other escalator I guess is Greenford, which was the last wooden slatted escalator on TFL taken out of use on 11 March 2014.
