So far there's no solution to get the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway open again
It is ironic that the anniversary of the Ludlow Walls comes as Shropshire faces another similar issue, with an unstable wall stopping the running of Bridgnorth’s famous Cliff Railway. We can only hope that a solution for that issue is found far sooner. Without constant attention and investment, they crumble and become both dilapidated and dangerous, as is the case with the Ludlow Walls.
The repairs and upgrades are not cheap and as we face the challenges of an ever-changing climate, which causes havoc, there is a financial reckoning. And yet, if we do not foot the bill to maintain such structures, they will crumble away for ever. That cost, many would contend, is far, far greater than the bill for regular repairs.
