Saltburn Inclined Tramway.
Undergoing a full restoration, the cars are removed by crane to be taken away and repaired.
It opened in 1884 and Saltburn Inclined Tramway is the oldest surviving water-balanced cliff lift in Britain.
It transports locals and tourists daily up and down its 120ft rails.
Composed of two, ten-person cars that are controlled via a water balance system, it uses the ascending and descending vehicles counterbalancing each other.
The original design on the tramway was so effective that other than maintenance and refurbishment, little has changed since its construction in 1884.
Currently owned by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council it operates March to October.
