This web site is being upgraded at the moment ready for the publication of Volume Two of ‘Tribute To Rigby Road Works Blackpool’ in the near future.
Volume Two of ‘Tribute to Rigby Road Works, Blackpool’ is under preparation. It covers the period from 1954 – when Joe Franklin took over as General Manager, to the celebrations of the Tramway Centenary year in 1985, and transfer of the Borough Council Transport Department – to Blackpool Transport Services LTD.
The book follows the same style and format as Volume One – now available at £39:00 from the publisher and select retail outlets. One hundred and ninety six pages full colour in A4 landscape format – hardback edition only. No reprints or paperback version is planned. We recommend reservation of your copy of Volume Two to assure delivery on publication.
The original book has expanded into three separate and distinct volumes as a result of a request by Blackpool Transport for a volume covering their period of operation from 1986 to 2010 when Volume Three will be published. This will coincide with the 125th Aniversary of Blackpool’s electric tramway and the special events being planned through the summer months.
