30 Jun 2025

18:30 - 20:30

City Hall

Join us for the official launch of the Bradford Map, a beautifully crafted historical map developed by the Historic Towns Trust. Hosted in the elegant surroundings of Bradford City Hall, this special evening event will feature a display of the map, mingling over drinks and nibbles, and a series of engaging talks. 

The evening will include a welcome from Bradford Literature Festival and the Historic Towns Trust, followed by talks from Ian Roberts, local archaeologist and project lead; Giles Darkes, the Trust’s Cartographic Editor and expert mapmaker; and Jerry Brotton, Bradford-born historian and author of Four Points of the Compass

Celebrate Bradford’s rich past through the lens of cartography in this unique cultural evening. 

We wish to thank the following organisations for making the production of the map possible: The Normanby Charitable Trust, The Charles & Elsie Sykes Trust, The Yorkshire Archaeological and Historical Society, CBA Yorkshire, Joseph Fattorini Charitable Trust, Bradford Historical & Antiquarian Society, and a number of individual donors.
