Description
Old Bradford explores the history of this West Yorkshire town from its early days to the present. From being largely destroyed by William the Conqueror, to its growth as an industrial centre in the 19th century, Bradford's transformation is well-documented through photographs and illustrations spanning over a century. The book delves into various aspects of Bradford's past, including pubs, cinemas and theatres, parks, buildings, events and celebrations, wartime bombing and accidents, and a chapter on people. Local areas such as Cottingley, Idle, Esholt, Shelf and Apperley Bridge are also featured in the book. With its unique blend of historical photographs and illustrations, Old Bradford provides a fascinating glimpse into the town's rich history.
