Lynton & Lynmouth The World's Tallest Water Powered cliff Railway
Construction started in 1887 with George Marks to build the vertical railway. The engineering saw the hydraulics filled completely with water instead of oil making this transport system unique.

The system was patented in the names of Newnes, Jones, and Marks who were the main investors in 1888.

The whole project took three years to complete with manual labour and required significant blasting on the cliffside. Back then, the cars required four independent braking systems due to the steepness of the track.
