Dr Malvern Tipping and his mother Eileen, of Bridgnorth Cliff Railway, visited Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway (LLCR) for the enveiling of a Red Wheel Plaque, awarded to the North Devon attraction by the Transport Trust.
The railway in Bridgnorth was awarded its own Red Wheel Plaque, bearing a citation about its founder Sir George Croydon Marks, in 2015.
Its current owners were invited to the ceremony at the railway in Lynton, which had been nominated as the highest and steepest water-powered cliff railway in the world.
