The Shipley Glen Tramway
The Shipley Glen Tramway is a short but picturesque funicular tram railway which connects Robert's Park and Saltaire with Prod Lane and Shipley Glen.
The brainchild of local entrepeneur Sam Wilson, the tramway was opened in 1895 to provide easy access from Saltaire to Prod Lane, where a small funfair was located.
Sadly the funfair is now gone with the land having been sold off for housing, though the tramway remains in operation staffed by a dedicated group of volunteers and remains a popular tourist attraction in its own right.
Bronte Country is designed, maintained and promoted by Eagle Intermedia Publishing Ltd.
