View from the Cliff Railway ~ Scarborough

A fantastic bit of Victorian engineering beautifully presented! The second PiP shows the steep slope very well. It must have been fun using the funicular regularly:-)

I love a funicular railway Gudrun :-) My favourite is the Lynton & Lynmouth one which is 500ft (152m) above the lower station. I used this one in Scarborough many times. It was just £1 going down & £1.50 going up! Thank you for your kind comments.
Sunday greetings.

An original and smart installation designed with a real refinement.
The main picture with its low light is pure beauty!
A nice contrast in the first PiP that projects us far on the coast. And the second PiP is very informative. It is good that this installation has been preserved and modernised.
Have a nice Sunday, Rosa!

Apparently there used to be five cliff railways in Scarborough, but I think only two remain now. I walked to the end of the road from our hotel before breakfast every morning to see this lovely view Eric. On one occasion I did walk up from the Promenade....it gave me a good appetite for dinner ;-)) Thank you for your kind comments.
Sunday greetings and wish you a good new week Eric.

With such nice weather, I understand and envy you, Rosa ;-)
Interesting sites are indeed worth a visit in different aspects of the daylight.

Beautiful series Rosa.

Thank you very much Jaap.

A wonderful series from on high Rosa, like you, I love the cliff railway at Lynton, we walked the path beside the railway once, quite an experience.

Thank you Roger. I also walked it once when the queue was long....I expect I had the same experience as you!! :-)

I love the light and the shadows on the Spa in the main shot Rosa. The first PiP framing the scene over the Spa and South Bay is very nicely done. In the second PiP the perspective looking the tracks of the funicular is excellent, giving a good impression of the height involved. I love the pricing policy, obviously management calculated that tired holiday makers would be willing to pay extra to go UP after a long day on the beach!

Enjoy your day, Doug

I loved this view that was at the end of the road from our hotel Doug. We did have a laugh at the pricing...they knew what they were doing didn't they! ;-)) Thank you for your very kind comments.

Sunday greetings, Rosa.

I was there, Rosa, in 1967. It was the first time I used a funicular railway. Cheers, Joe

You must have been a wee lad Joe! Did you enjoy it? The first for me was when my gran took me to Bournemouth and I was captivated by it!
Cheers, Rosa.

Superbes images de ce funiculaire ancien !

Wünsche noch einen schönen Sonntag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much Günter. I enjoyed my rides of the cliff railway :-))

Sunday greetings and a good new week, Rosa.

The main image is so beautiful, dear Rosa , in a very fine low light and tones of blue!
it is an excellent series from on high, as Roger said. I love the second PiP view through a window and also the first, where your trip started...I like funicular railways!
Have a nice Sunday, my friend

Thank you for your kind comments dear Adele. If I visit somewhere that has a funicular railway, I always have to go on it ;-)) This one I used many times.
Happy Sunday and a good new week.

Marvellous views from the funicular railway carriage, Rosa. We called in at Bridgnorth on the way back home from Wiltshire. There is a funicular here too, but the views are nowhere near as glorious.

Thank you Amelia. If you had come to my village from Stourhead, in 6 miles you would have been in three counties! There used to be 5 funiculars in Scarborough, but as far as I could see, there are just two now.

A great trio of shots here in this light Rosa reminding me of some of the continental cable car views going up and down mountains. It is good that we have a few of these preserved and still used. The last one I went on was at Saltburn but I have been on a few. Good that you enjoyed the ride and the walks too. Well done.

Cheers, Herb

Thank you very much Herb. I love a funicular :-) My youngest brother lived and worked in Saltburn for three years. I never visited him there as I had 2 young children at the time, but my mum and dad did and they loved it there. I have a photo of them using the funicular railway. They were also lucky with the weather on their visits and enjoyed a Victorian Fair there once.
Thanks for the link. I remember it well.
Cheers, Rosa.

The view in the main image is lovely..........you must have been up and about pretty early as there doesn't seem to be anyone else around. I do like a deserted beach :-)

A beautifully framed (no pun intended) view in the first PiP...........the beach and town look wonderful in the sunshine.

A super view looking down the railway in the second PiP..........they really are a marvel of engineering............and great value by the sound of it. I'm all for anything that saves me walking up and down hills nowadays :-)

A splendid collection Rosa!

There were very few people on the beach all the time we were there Keith. Mostly dog walkers. I must say that it was kept very clean, in fact, the whole place was very clean and I didn't see any dog mess at all.

As you can imagine, I used the funicular quite a few times :-)) We walked back up once and that was enough....many seats were taken advantage of on the way up!

Thank you very much for your kind comments on the set Keith.
Have a lovely evening.

Un air de vacances ça fait du bien **************jolies photo et série ma Rosa !
gros bisousssssssssss et bonne semaine mon amie

Thank you dear Angelique. It was good to breath in the sea air :-))
Have a good new week my friend. Gros bisous*******

SUBLIMES cette magnifique série bien enjolivée par ces ravissantes prises de vue plongeantes
Superbement contrastées.
Bonne et agréable semaine.

Thank you for your very kind comments Malik.
Best wishes & a good new week.

A very special view with that checkerboard floor and the tiny chairs and tables...almost like a dollhouse.

Have a good new week, Rosa!

Yes, I thought that Edna ;-))

Have a good and happy new week.

:-)
Thank you, Rosa, I'll do my best! Today we had another summery day (23 °C) and for the rest of the week supposedly as well. And then more like autumn.

Excellente !!

Thank you Boro.

CLASSIC AR ARCHITECTURE

Yes indeed Pam. I love them :-)

Hermosas imágenes. Que tengas un bonito lunes.

Thank you very much Marije.
Have a good day and happy new week.

Beautiful series and I love this old funicular railway!!!!
(Too bad I didn't take it in 1968!)
Have a nice day****

Thank you very much Nouchet.
You missed out....but you were of an age that you
could easily walk up the hills in 1968, as I was ;-))

Happy Monday.

Merci de nous faire découvrir de merveilleux endroit agréable journée Rosalyn

Thank you so much Patrick.
Good evening.

Spectacular images, Rosalyne!!

Thank you very much Judite.

Bonitas y documentales fotografías de ese hermoso lugar, con paisaje y detalles del funicular.
Buena semana, Rosa.

Thank you Jose Manuel. I walked o this point at the end of the road before breakfast each morning. Happy Tuesday.

Hi Rosa
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Wonderful and interesting information too.
When I was very young I rmember watching for hours as the top car ffilled up with water, but not understanding why.
Great colours too
Best Wishes, Happy Monday a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
