Lost Mills and Ghost Mansions

14:00 - 15:00

City Park

509 Arts have spent two years recording the stories and experiences of Bradford’s last generations of textile workers. From mill owners and spinners to weavers and lorry drivers, the testimony of people who worked in the final years of mass textile production in the district has become an invaluable resource.  

Students, teachers, historians, researchers, and interested individuals can explore over 80 hours of recorded and documented stories through the Lost Mills Learning Zone.  

Join 509 Arts’ Artistic Director, Al Dix, and Producer, Izzie Smith, as they share their favourite extracts from the archive and reflect on Bradford’s textile legacy.
