My Southend-on-Sea Cliff Lift YouTube vlog is now live!
Click on this link:-
Southend Cliff Lift is in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Dating back from 1912, it is a funicular railway serving a real need; taking passengers 130 ft (40m) up a cliff with a rise of 57ft (17m). It is not always open as it's run by volunteers, and this is the first time that I was able to ride on it. With room for up to 12 passengers (including the operator), it saves you walking the 150-odd steps up the cliff front.
Modernised in 1930, 1959 and 1990, a major fault found in 2004 caused the lift to close, but National Lottery funding ensured that it reopened in 2010. It is popular- a couple recently had their wedding photos taken here!
It is free to ride on the lift- although donations are always welcome- and we did a round trip, so come and take a walk in my shoes and take a look at this short vlog.
As you know, I will always be a writer before anything else, so here are links to my previous Southend blogs...
