  • A Short History of Bradford College
    A short history of Bradford College Genes from the past The past holds the secret to the genetic ingredients that have created the unique institution that is Bradford College today… Bradford could be said to succeed on its ability to utilise four resources: its Broad Ford beck and tributary streams of soft water, which contributed to the cottage industry of weaving within its natural valley; its largely poor people who from five years of age upwards were the backbone of its labour resources within that industry;its pioneers who led the country in welfare and educational reform; its “useful men” – with the capital to captain industry and the foresightedness to maximise on and develop the potential of canal, rail, steam and power machines that galvanised the industrial revolution. But there is much more to “Worstedopolis” as Bradford was known when it was the capital and centre of the world stage in the production of worsted textiles and the story of its College is not rooted in textile enterprise alone. Bradford had other resources from the outset– stone from its quarries and iron from its seams at Bowling and Low Moor, to the extent that the “Best Yorkshire” iron was in full use at Trafalgar, Waterloo and the Crimea. Bradford was ripe territory for engineers and inventors who automated the production of the woollen processes. Bradford has also made its name in areas that range from automobile production to artificial limb design. All of these strands are evident in the very earliest portfolio on offer – and many survive today. Once technical training emerged, it began – then as today - to deliver the skills that employers and markets require - but whilst Bradford buildings in their locally quarried golden stone rose around the slums, a world of financial “haves” and “have nots” poured into the town.

  • Industrial Explorer Weekend West Yorkshire Bradford and Surrounding
    Industrial Explorer Weekend West Yorkshire Bradford and surrounding towns 9th – 12th September 2021 One in a series of unique tours, developed from the City Safari, where a traditional Safari pattern does not work for the principal town but, with other settlements, the surrounding industrial areas and our own transport, presents a group of sites well worth exploring. Led by Sue Constable 3 nights, from £495. Discount for AIA members Covid Money Back Guarantee In the event that, due to Covid 19, government regulations change such that we are unable to run this tour all monies paid will be refunded in full. City Safaris and Industrial Explorer Weekends These walking tours take a look at an industrial city's civic, commercial, industrial and transport legacy on foot, guided by an expert. Our groups are deliberately kept small so that everyone has a chance to ask the leader questions as we go and to make walking as a group practicable in an urban environment. We go away for a long weekend and stay together as a group at a reasonable hotel. A dinner is held on the Thursday evening which is a chance for new members to be introduced and old friends to catch up on news. After dinner there is a short talk to introduce the city and its history as well as to explain the programme. City Safaris use whatever public transport is available: bus, tram, metro or train which is a great way to gain some understanding of how the area works and may be of historic interest in themselves.

  • Saltaire Bingley and Nab Wood
    SALTAIRE, BINGLEY & NAB WOOD A 5.5 mile easy going walk, mainly at the side of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal and the River Aire with a pleasant halfway stop in Myrtle Park, Bingley, with no stiles and just one short hill through Nab Wood. At the end of the walk, do allow time to explore Salts Mill (see below). Start point: Saltaire Station, Victoria Road, Saltaire (trains every 30 minutes from Leeds). SALTAIRE is the name of a Victorian era model village. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This means that the government has a duty to protect the site. The buildings belonging to the model village are individually listed, with the highest level of protection being given to the Congregational Church (since 1972 known as the United Reformed Church) which is listed grade I. The village has survived remarkably complete. Saltaire was founded in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname with the name of the river. Salt moved his entire business (five separate mills) from Bradford to this site near Shipley partly to provide better arrangements for his workers than could be had in Bradford and partly to site his large textile mill by a canal and a railway. Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with running water, bath-houses, a hospital, as well as an Institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and gymnasium.
