The bosses of Bridgnorth's most famous attraction have attended a meeting of fellow Cliff Railway owners – and discovered several family connections with their fellow funicular and cable car owners.The directors of Bridgnorth Cliff Railway, Malvern Tipping and his mother Eileen Tipping, were joined by other members of the Heritage Railway Association’s Cableways Group at the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway last week.
“We discussed the latest safety concerns and updates with respect to funiculars. Those meetings are always very productive and enable us to update our safety measures,” said Mr Tipping. He said the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway was founded by Bob Jones and engineered by his cousin, Sir George Croydon Marks – a cousin of the grandfather of Eileen Tipping, Malvern's mother, who is now aged 96.
