Join the team from Heritage Towns Trust (HTT) as they present a fascinating talk on the creation of a unique map of Bradford. Using an early Ordnance Survey map as its foundation, this project charts the city’s transformation from a small medieval town to a world centre of industry and trade in the 19th century.
Discover how historic and contemporary features come together to reveal Bradford’s rich narrative, showcasing its rapid rise during the wool and cotton boom. HTT will share incredible stories from their research, blending history, technology, and cartography, while exploring the map’s creation and the project’s ambitious vision.
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.
