"The car that Henry built. The Ford Model T above was one of several vintage vehicles in the parade at the Bond Head fair on the weekend."

The Metropolitan railway was a streetcar project which was to extend up to Bond Head through Bradford. Newspapers reported in 1900 that citizens would welcome this track through the towns, although it was a costly endeavour:

It also presented issues with the town's current layout, hence changes had to be made:
