Shipley Glen Dodgems April'11

[KelseyRebecca98]

Once again visited with ROYALBOB, abit of info about the place,

The owner started to demolish the amusment park after efforts from campaigners managed to get the rides its deserved protected status.

The owner claimed however that it would be more economical for him to demolish the rides and pay the fine than to continue with the running costs of the ride.

He appealed the listing status of the ride & demolished it in 2004. At that point it was 1 of the oldest operating ride, the dodgem rides were never demolished.
