The Saltburn tramway, as it is known, replaced a vertical lift, which was closed on safety grounds in 1883. The cliff tramway opened a year later and provided transport between the pier and the town. The railway is water-balanced and since 1924 the water pump has been electrically operated. The first major maintenance was carried out in 1998, when the main winding wheel was replaced and a new braking system installed. In more recent times there have been problems which hopefully are now overcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Image courtesy of a supporter of the Archive.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>The cliff lift is one of the world&#8217;s oldest water-powered cliff lifts (the oldest being the Bom Jesus funicular in Braga, Portugal).
