  I loved the lift as a child, and it was always a treat to go on it. The building at the bottom is lovely, and once we'd got to the top I and my parents used to spend ages too just watching the water pour in and then the lift slowly start to move. I even love the sound of it.
  
  We rode on it during the trienniel, with the Martin Creed installation, which positively strained as it was getting to the top of the hill - one wondered if both the lift and the music could ever make it!
  
  It's a real delight that the lift is still running. There is a track that is disused, sadly demonstrating what could have been lost. It begs the question - how on earth do they weed such a steep track and sides? (A very brave barber, I'd suggest!) There is also another coach, the steps coach, which I remember from my childhood and in which I always delighted to ride. That's stored safely; maybe that might come out one day too, to be used.
