Earlier this week I was asked to find out when the Marina Lift was demolished, I consulted with Terry Wheeler whose book, The Ramsgate Lifts, we have in stock price £2.25, if you want a copy posted to you I will have to charge postage unlike our own publications which we send post free to uk addresses.The marina lift was opened in August 1905 and demolished in 1970 when a green metal corrugated structure was erected there to cover the lift escape ladder, many people wrongly assumed that this structure was a replacement lift.
Click here for pictures of the demolition of the lift the news paper cutting is from the East Kent Times January 14th 1970 Thanks to Terry for letting me copy them.
