Mapping Bradford’s History

11 Jul 2025

12:00 - 16:00

Bradford Mechanics Institute Library

The Historic Towns Trust invite you to join us on 11th July to celebrate the city of Bradford through mapping its history.

The talk is about the Historic Towns Trust’s An Historical Map of Bradford publication, which shows the fascinating history of the city centre, and the two conservation areas of Manningham and Little Germany.

The map is built on extensive research, drawing information from many archaeological and historical resources, brought together to show the historical development of the city. The talk will highlight how we create our maps, how we delivered our Bradford project and share the stories and learnings that the publication has uncovered, which are surprising even its authors in creating a new and more detailed narrative of Bradford’s history.

Following the talk there will be a stall and a small exhibition space, giving more detail about the project, with the opportunity to purchase the publication along with other maps produced by the Historic Towns Trust.
