West Hill Cliff Railway
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
The West Hill Cliff Railway (called locally the "West Hill Lift") is located in Hastings, East Sussex. It was opened on 28 August, 1891. It was constructed to run through a cave in the cliff, and provides access to Hastings Castle and St Clement's Caves. The West Hill overlooks the Old Town and Rock-a-nore, an area to the east of Hastings.
The West Hill Lift is paired by the East Hill Cliff Railway, giving visitors access to Hastings Country Park.
