LEAS LIFT, FOLKESTONE

Delighted to receive planning and listed building consent for the restoration of Folkestone's Grade II* listed Leas Lift. It is another step closer to bringing the water balanced funicular lift back to working life, reconnecting Folkestone to the seafront via a scenic ride down the Leas cliff.

ACME's design includes a new café situated to the west of the original Leas Lift waiting rooms designed by Reginald Pope, restoring a sense of symmetry lost when the pump room was built to the east in 1890.
