Saltburn cliff lift
Saltburn cliff lift. This lift links Saltburn Pier to the town centre, reaching a maximum height of 36.58 metres and a distance of 63.09 metres. The lift is a water-balance lift, having two cars attached to one cable. The cars have water tanks onboard that are either filled or emptied to change their relative weights. The change in weight raises the lighter car to the top of the lift. The lift was opened in 1884 and is the oldest remaining water-balance cliff lift in Britain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Saltburn cliff lift, a remarkable feat of engineering that connects Saltburn Pier to the town centre in the United Kingdom. Standing tall at an impressive height of 36.58 meters and spanning a distance of 63.09 meters, this water-balance lift is truly a sight to behold. Dating back to its grand opening in 1884, this historic lift holds the distinction of being Britain's oldest surviving water-balance cliff lift. Its unique design features two cars attached to a single cable, with each car equipped with water tanks onboard. The ingenious use of these tanks allows for weight manipulation, enabling one car to rise while the other descends. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to the Victorian era when such technological marvels were first introduced. The juxtaposition between traditional coastal beauty and cutting-edge engineering is simply mesmerizing. Saltburn by the Sea provides an idyllic backdrop for this extraordinary transportation system – its picturesque coastline blending harmoniously with this testament to human ingenuity. This print not only captures history but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation technology. With every glance at this stunning piece from Science Photo Library, you are reminded that even amidst modern advancements, there will always be something enchanting about embracing our past and celebrating our rich cultural heritage.
