'''Madeira Lift''' is an ornamental Victorian  grade II listed public seafront lift built in 1890, open in summer months, that takes visitors between the roadway up above the seafront and Madeira drive level down at the beachfront. In theory it also has an intermediate "stop" at the middle level, but since this walkway is currently closed (as of 2018), the lift doesn't stop there.
