I asked to purchase old pictures of mills, the manager then allowed me access to over 300,000 prints to browse over. Incredible service. More

Visited during Art Festival when lots of the Victorian cottages open to showcase artists' work. Interesting to walk around and see the "model village" which Titus Salt built for his mill workers.There are some pubs these days for refreshments - which Titus didnt allow in his day! More

A brilliant place to look back on the history and heritage of Bradford. This is a 'must visit' for both old and young. And its FREE!!. Whenever I visit it seems very quiet. The live horses are gone which is a pity because they drew the crowds. Bradford Council seem to do nothing to promote this or other assets and... More

A fantastic museum - its FREE, there's plenty to see and do. Steam demonstrations, weaving demonstrations, a Mill Managers House, Cars, motorbikes...... Sadly no cafe - although plans are afoot for one soon. A nice shop, with prices to suit all. More

Its difficult to imagine a time but Bradford for 50 years was well known for making cars and light vans. The site today is the Morrison supermarket at Idle, but you can still see cars from Jowett at the Bradford Industrial Museum. They also have a nice working old fashioned print shop, volunteers are often on hand to talk about... More

Went there whilst in the area, thought it may be good, however it was excellent. Coming from Lincolshire I didn`t really know much about the woolen mills, I loved the personal accounts from real people who had actually worked long and hard in the mills. Child labour accounts were quite distressing I felt almost ashamed not to have realised people... More

I really like the industrial museum especially the xmas fair that they have. Lots to see and do and gets very busy at times. This year they had Reindeers which were great. Its unfortunate that they have got rid of the horses though as it used to be lovely walking past and being able to pet them. Id reccomend going... More

I have been visiting here since a small child as my grandma used to work at british mohair spinners and has been keen to show me the trade she worked in. She lives miles away now but insists on visiting everytime she's up here. Last time we visited I was expecting all the same stuff as every other year but... More
