Bridgnorth Cliff Railway, Victorian funicular railway in Bridgnorth, England
The Bridgnorth Cliff Railway extends 201 feet in length and climbs 111 feet up the sandstone cliffs, connecting High Town with Low Town.
The railway opened on July 7, 1892, with George Croydon Marks as its managing director and Sir George Newnes as chairman holding eighty-five percent of shares.
The funicular railway serves as a central transportation link between the two sections of Bridgnorth, used by both residents and tourists throughout the year.
The railway operates from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays, with return tickets priced at £2.50 for adults while children under 6 travel at no cost.
The wooden cars were replaced with aluminum carriages in 1955, each capable of transporting 18 passengers along tracks with a 64 percent gradient.
