The Leas Lift in Folkestone, Kent, is one of only three remaining, Victorian, water balance cliff lifts left in the country.
One of only three surviving, Victorian water-balanced lifts in the UK is to be restored thanks to a £4.8 million grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
“People tell me the hard work starts now, although it certainly feels like we are well on the road to success.” The lift operates using water and gravity and is controlled from a small cabin at the top of the cliff.
