Bridgnorth Cliff Railway 'in the dark' as to when it can reopen as further wall damage exposed
Contractors working for Bridgnorth Town Council have uncovered further sections of the damaged wall that saw the town's Cliff Railway close before Christmas.
The town council has said it is "pleased" with progress to repair the retaining wall around the funicular railway, which saw the attraction close on health and safety grounds in December and led to the redundancy of 14 of its 16 employees.
Since March, Telford-based contractors Garvey Developments have been peeling back the ivy covering the Victorian wall along Castle Walk, to examine and repair the wall.
While work on the section around the Cliff Railway is nearing completion, the contractors have uncovered further damage to a second section of the wall and even revealed a hidden Victoria arch in the stonework.
