LEAS LIFT - Folkestone
The Leas Lift, designed and built in 1885 by R.G.Waygood cost approximately £3000. Special permission was granted for the lift to be opened on the 16th September of that year - Folkestone Regatta day. The lift is termed a ’water balance’ lift. In 1890 it was decided to build a further lift alongside the 1885 installation and build a pump room to enable the water to be recycled.
The lift can be seen on the Leas at Folkestone, Kent UK but sadly it was officially closed shortly after this shot was taken on June 28th 2009.
