Description
Historic Town’s Trust presents a map of Bradford, a richly detailed view of the city’s development, focusing on the city centre and the conservation areas of Manningham and Little Germany.
Based on extensive archaeological and historical research, the map brings together diverse sources to trace Bradford’s transformation over time. It reveals how the city’s streets, landmarks, and communities have evolved, offering insights into its cultural and architectural heritage.
This exhibition invites visitors to explore the layers of Bradford’s past and gain a deeper appreciation of the forces that have shaped one of the UK’s most historically vibrant urban centres.
This event is supported by Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, we are very grateful for their financial support and for making this event possible. We are also kindly supported by the Institute of the Public Understanding of the Past, University of York.
