The line is operated entirely by volunteer staff on behalf of a charitable trust - Shipley Glen Tramway Preservation Co Ltd. The line was opened on 18 May 1895 by Sam Wilson, a local publican, showman and entrepreneur. It is the oldest working cable tramway in Great Britain and Europe (cliff lifts excepted). The line was built to serve the local beauty of Shipley Glen, near Saltaire in West Yorksh

ire. At nearly a quarter-mile in length, the woodland ride provides a pleasant alternative to the steep path.

๐Ÿ“ธ UPCOMING EVENT ๐Ÿ“ธ

Celebrating our four legged friends! We're putting dogs into the spotlight at the Shipley Glen Tramway next weekend on the 20th & 21st June, 12-4 pm. Come visit us and make unforgettable special memories together. We're ready to welcome little bundles of joy at the UK's oldest working cable-hauled tramway. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿพ

There will also be childrenโ€™s activities happening in our Museum, so make sure you do not miss it.

Of course dogs, the main event! We need your help owners. Bring yours to the Tramway next weekend! Maybe it's that cute snapshot of you with your dog that you've always been wanted to have? It's the perfect way to start, end or break-up the daily walk.
All we ask is that all dogs are on suitable leads when travelling with us.
Saturday & Sunday, 20th & 21st June. Click on the image for more information ๐Ÿคฉ
