Bradford
is another of Britain's factory towns that
grew prosperous during the Industrial
Revolution. Bradford's industries were wool
mills and textiles and its success gave rise
to slums as well as Victorian architecture.
Of note were the Gothic Bradford Town Hall
with a decidedly Italian influenced clock
tower, the Wool Exchange and St. Georges
Hall. All of the buildings were designed
by Lockwood and Mawson, Bradford architects
and they were labors of love, but according
to a recent visitor's report, they haven't
survived in tact.
Bradford
Art Gallery and Museum houses paintings
by Gainsborough
and Reynolds. There is also
a local history and an Industrial Museum
that is an actual spinning mill circa 1875.
Bradford-made Jowett cars are on display
in the Industrial Museum as well. Less
than twenty miles from centre city is the Haworth
Parsonage a
museum dedicated
to the Brontë sisters. Also not far
from Bradford (three miles north) is Saltaire,
a model factory town built around the mill
that manufactured alpaca cloth. Founded by
Sir Titus Salt, the town provided houses
for his workers (800) schools and churches.
In Keighley, just 20 minutes north-west of
Bradford's centre, there is Cliffe Castle,
a Victorian mansion that houses a social
and archaeological history of the region.
