Report - Leas Lifts - Folkstone - March 22

Really different. It does look steep tbf. Shame cars were locked, but its got to be done, rude not to try lol. Lovely photos even if done in haste, you wouldn't know it.

Never even knew that existed, nice work.

From memory it used to go from the leas to the pier. The peir was a financial bust so they got rid of it or it was torched I can't recall exactly.

Since the rotunda disappeared there wasn't much call for it.

Thanks Jane, yeah it was to be expected, all top & bottom buildings locked too but like I saw was a bit of a adrenalin rush anyway lol

Never even knew that existed, nice work.

Quite possibly. as you can see in one of my pics there is a new hotel being built at the bottom there now but otherwise there is absolutely nothing down there
