==Governance== {{further|Shipley (UK Parliament constituency)}} [[File:Shipley Town Hall (16381850951).jpg|thumb|[[Shipley Town Hall]]]] Shipley was historically a [[Township (England)|township]] and [[chapelry]] in the large ancient parish of Bradford.<ref>[http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/197 Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, 1870β72, at Vision of Britain website]</ref> Shipley Local Board was formed in 1853. Originally the board met at the Sun Hotel near the market. In 1880, it moved to the old Manor House, until it was demolished in 1915. Shipley became a separate [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] in 1866. In 1894, Shipley Urban District Council was constituted with 15 councillors,{{sfn|Firth|1996|pp=19β100}} and Shipley incorporated the Windhill district, formerly part of Idle. An attempt was made to gain borough status in 1898, but failed.{{sfn|Burrows|p=11}} [[Shipley Town Hall]] was built in 1932, as part of a scheme to relieve high unemployment during the [[Great Depression]] and was opened by the [[Earl of Harewood]].{{sfn|Firth|1996|p=15}} It became the seat of Shipley's administration for the next four decades. For many years, Shipley opposed joining Bradford for local government purposes whenever it was proposed. A large protest march marked the third attempt in 1937.{{sfn|Firth|1996|p=47}} In 1974 after local government reorganisation, merger into Bradford seemed inevitable, and no resistance was offered.{{sfn|Firth|1996|p=101}} The [[Shipley parliamentary constituency]] was created in 1885, and its first MP was [[Joseph Craven (politician)|Joseph Craven]].
