FIFTY years of Bradford’s industrial museum was celebrated at the weekend. 

Bradford Council says it was the first local authority in Britain to create a museum celebrating the history and culture of a city’s industry and workers.

Following the Industrial Revolution which began in the 18th century, Bradford was at the heart of Yorkshire’s woollen textile industry.
