These booklets are available in the Baildon library.

Or you can download PDF versions from the Baildon Council website here. (Note: the Town Council website currently does not have these files available. I am investigating.)

There are now 10 of them. The set is complete.

They are available from Baildon Library for £1 which just covers the printing costs.

These booklets were put together by Baildon History Society. It has taken many years of them having an interest in Baildon for all the information to be collected and put together in these booklets. All are illustrated with either pen and ink drawings by a local artist or by photos. Each has a map on the back showing the route.

The Shipley Glen Cable Tramway is the oldest working cable tramway in Great Britain (cliff lifts excepted) and dates from 1895. The tramway has had a lot of work done over the last few years a new cable fitted to haul the trams at a cost of £3900.

At the same time the top winding drum,dating back to 1895 and an original piece of tramway equipment, has had its worn out surface replaced by new steel sleeves costing £2600. The old winding drum surface gave 111 years of service. A new west platform at the bottom station has been built at a cost of £3900 to replace an old and deteriorating wooden platform.

The tramway volunteers have replaced the old Santa's Grotto at the top station with a new and larger building and also making a better access and exit to Santa's Grotto for visitors.The building is used to display the tramway's collection of memorabilia and photographs of the history of the Trollybus in Bradford.
