The West Hill Lift retains its original wooden Victorian coaches, and also runs through a tunnel, very unusual for a funicular.
The lift's charming lower station is in traffic-free George Street
which is full of continental-style cafés, art shops and bookshops.
The West Hill itself offers some of the town's most remarkable views,
stretching round to Beachy Head in the west and out across the Channel,
the busiest sea lane on the world. Better still, you can enjoy these
sights from inside the West Hill Café which is open throughout the
Summer and offers a wide range of drinks and meals.

resident John Logie Baird, the inventor of television, made his first
radar experiments
