About Bradford
Bradford rose to prominence in the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture, particularly wool . It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, rapidly becoming the “wool capital of the world” Lying in the eastern foothills of the Pennines, the area’s access to a supply of coal, iron ore and soft water facilitated the growth of Bradford’s manufacturing base . Since the mid-20th century, deindustrialisation caused Bradford’s textile sector and industrial base to decline .
