THREE people were rescued from the Shanklin Cliff Lift this (Sunday) evening after becoming stuck inside.

Crews from the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service were called to the lift just off of the Shanklin Esplanade at 5.57pm.

A spokesperson for the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said: "We were called to three persons trapped inside of the lift.

"Two appliances were sent, one from Sandown Fire Station and the other from Shanklin fire station.

"The crews were able to gain access to the lift's motor room, where they were then able to lower the lift to the ground manually.

"All three people inside of the lift were okay."
