The water-balancing lift, an iconic piece of engineering, has been in operation since 1884. It is believed to be one of the oldest working funiculars tramways in the UK.

During the winter months the cliff lift closes to the public, but as of Friday, April 25, it is back open for the summer season.

Cllr Carl Quartermain, Cabinet Member for Jobs, Skills and Leisure at Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council said: “I am delighted the cliff lift is back open to the public for the summer season.

“Over 165,000 people took the trip up and down the lift last year, which is fantastic, so let’s see if we can exceed those numbers this year.”
