East Hill Cliff Railway

At Hastings, the two funicular railways could not be more different despite the fact that they were both originally built on the water balance principle. Despite their similar nomenclatures, there is a significant distinction between them. The East Hill railway is a far more eye-catching addition to town than the West Hill railway because it can actually be seen! This was carved into the cliff’s face, whereas the West Hill line is largely hidden inside a tunnel dug through the rock.
The East Hill Lift (as it’s known locally) gives access to Hastings Country Park, which has views of the Old Town and Rock a Nore. The Stade, Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet home, is visible from the lift.:
