Glen Tramway Preservation Company Limited
Art & Culture
The wheel that hauls the cable which pulls our trams and bearings needs to be replaced.
About this cause
We run and maintain a 122 year old heritage tramway in West Yorkshire with weekend and bank holiday openings and school and special interest group visits. We have special events particularly for children at Easter, Halloween, Christmas and take part in World Heritage Site Events in Saltaire which is a few minutes walk from our tramway. We have just rebuilt and refurbished our museum with the history of Shipley Glen Tramway and the local area.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our involvement with special events at Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Saltaire Festival and school and group visits depends on us being able to run the Shipley Glen Tramway trams (everybody concerned is an unpaid volunteer).
