Product Description
Product Description
Prior to the nineteenth century, Bradford was very much a backwater. After that it was to become the metropolis of the worsted industry and enjoyed a prosperity scarcely equalled by any other portion of the kingdom. It was said at the time that the real energy of Yorkshire centred in Bradford. The times of growth were astounding and in 1897, when the town received its city status, Bradford truly was magnificent.Wherever you go in Bradford you cannot escape its rich industrial past. Many of the old mills remain, either converted to housing or awaiting demolition. Bradford Through Time goes to show us in many ways what we have lost, many of the older images display a way of life that appears rich and energetic with a real pride. You may be forgiven for thinking in some cases that we have gone backwards and not forwards in time.

I ordered Bradford through time after being invited to the Facebook page about it. When it arrived I was very impressed with the content. Its author Mark Davis has done a fantastic job and the modern photography is just stunning along side the historical prints and material.
I absolutely loved the book and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone with a love of British history. I found it poignant in a way as it is always sad to see how much beauty we lose over the years when the old is demolished to make way for the new.
Mark Davis has brought Bradford's past to life with his amazing photography and his factual text.
