HISTORIC Shipley Glen Tramway will be hosting an open day on Saturday July 15.

The day, which runs from 10.30am to 4.30pm, will give people the chance to meet the volunteers that keep the Victorian Tramway running.

There will be free rides through the day, and refreshments provided by the Co-Op Saltaire.

The tramway is the oldest funicular railway in the UK, and was built to transport people from Saltaire to Shipley Glen. It has been running since 1895.
