The Grade II listed Leas Lift is one of only three water-balanced lifts remaining in the UK. Our restoration work involves bringing the lift back into operation, developing a new upper station area and extending the former cafe.
Once complete, the Leas Lift will once again become a tourist destination, as well as hosting exhibitions, community engagement and events at the newly renovated Lower Station.
