WCC, Transport Department's Kelburn Cable Car records

Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00704Date Range1937-1979DescriptionThis series consist of five correspondence files and a small number of plans all relating to the Kelburn Cable Car. The files largely concern maintenance of the Cable Car in the 1970s, though one of the files dates back to the 1930s and has correspondence on it from the company that ran the Cable Car prior to Council purchasing it in 1947. The plans show details of the new cable car system that was installed in 1978. These records are remnants of much larger file systems that are not held by Wellington City Archives and so have been placed together in this one series.Quantity (Linear Metres)0.36MediumFileSystem of ArrangementChronologicallyCollection TypeWellington City Council
