Shocking footage has emerged of daredevils riding on top of various lifts in Tunbridge Wells.

The video, which was posted on YouTube, includes scenes filmed inside lift shafts, with the cameraman standing on top of the machinery while moving between floors.

Among the locations filmed were the lifts in Torrington Car Park in Vale Avenue and Royal Victoria Place.

VIDEO: Daredevils ride on lifts in Tunbridge Wells

The footage, called 'Billy and Joshs adventure in Tunbridge Wells', was posted by a user called Beno - an urban explorer with an interest in lifts, abandoned buildings and forts.

He has created guides with information about lifts, adding: "Lifts are a part of the UK's heritage that is ignored and forgotten.

"People often want to preserve old buildings but not the lifts."

The post includes a disclaimer urging others not to try to copy what they see without knowing how to do it safely.

It goes on to say: "Just from watching my videos will not give you all the knowledge required to safely enter lift shafts."

A Tunbridge Wells Borough Council spokesperson said: "For obvious reasons we condemn this behaviour, the dangers are very clear."
