Bradford Industrial Museum

I recently paid a visit to the Bradford Industrial Museum in Yorkshire, here in the UK.

If anyone is planning a trip there, I recommend that you go on a Wednesday when museum volunteers Jimmy Young, Donald Stott and Michael Booth are on hand to demonstrate the equipment and answer any questions you may have.
