This print captures the essence of Folkestone in the late 19th to early 20th century. The image showcases the iconic beach and lifts that were an integral part of this popular British seaside resort. The focal point of the picture is the Leas Lift, a historic funicular railway installed in 1885.

The photograph exudes tranquility and serenity while capturing the vibrant atmosphere of this coastal town. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to experience Folkestone's rich history as a beloved tourist spot on England's south coast.
