Bradford Industrial Museum

Story

Bradford Industrial Museum, established 1974 in Moorside Mills, Eccleshill, Bradford, United Kingdom, specializes in relics of local industry, especially printing and textile machinery, kept in working condition for regular demonstrations to the public. There is a Horse Emporium in the old canteen block plus a shop in the mill, and entry is free of charge.History of the siteIn Yorkshire, a mill is a textile factory. The original mill was built by John Moore in 1875 for worsted spinning. In 1919 the clock tower was built as a war memorial to those lost in World War I, and two floors were added. The mill was later sold to W & J Whitehead, who ran the ring spinning machine which is still in the spinning gallery. In 1970 Bradford Council bought the mill and it opened as a museum on 14 December 1974.



"Bradford's Industrial Museum has permanent displays of textile machinery, steam power, engineering, printing machinery and motor vehicles, along with an exciting exhibitions programme. You can enjoy the splendour of Moorside House where the Mill Manager lived, or visit the Mill-workers' terraced houses dressed to reflect three different time periods."

It was an incredible experience visiting this museum, a rather vintage-styled one that gives off relaxed vibes! The exhibitions were truly intriguing across the museum's large area, delving into the history of clocks, sewing, working laws and more. Navigating around was easy, with strong stairs and clear signs for going from floor to floor. There is a shop in museum, where I bought a smooth tram pin badge for just £2.50 and also sat down to have a warming drink of White Coffee!
Absolutely incredible. We went to the national science and media museum before this. It pales in comparison. This place has working mill machinery and more to look at than you can imagine. I've never been to a museum as good as this outside of London.
Hidden gem. Well worth a visit if you've not been before.working industrial machinery is really interesting maybe loud for smaller kids. Enjoyed the rebuilt terraced housesVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A huge museum that has something for everyone. The location isn't great but it's close to frequent bus routes. We went quite latest we were there at closing time, the main gates were locked and it wasn't easy finding the alternative exit. There was a "bouncer" who was very intimidating and when asked if we needed to leave didn't give a verbal answer, just a menacing look
We loved it. Very interesting. Full of history and heritage. Must pay another visit. Not enough with one time.Visited onPublic holidayWait time30–60 min

An Amazing Place And A Totally Immersive Experience. This Most Excellent Musemn Is Free To Visit Although Donations Are Most Welcome. Everything Is Almost On One Level,But There Is A Lift Available. I Must Give A BIG Shout Out To The Volunteers Especially Those In The Printing Department. V Knowledgeable And Friendly And In This Section There Is An Area To Print Out Your Own PictureFor Kids And Adults I Just LOVE Things Like That. I LOVE To Be Hands On You See. Toilets Available. This Musemn Is Very Well Laid Out With Easy Access To All Departments We Also Liked The Invaluable Contribution That The Asian Community Has Made To Bradford Is Well Represented At This Musemn. Cracking Shop Too. Although They Are Missing A Trick With The Lack Of Named Sweets Available. Although They Did Have Bradford Industrial Musemn Fudge
If it's free and this good, then it's a must visit. Bradford history in the local street of Bradford is a amazing experience. Many halal shops after a 5 minn drive.
An amazing museum, so much to see The staff were lovely, the blacksmith very cool to watch, Another gem of a museum in BradfordVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
What a fantastic place.. free parking & no entrance fee.. I've been many times before . Today, I went with my Son & twin 9yr old Grandson's. They were given a goody bag containing a drawing pad , pencil , pencil sharpener & 2 crayons . They were fascinated by the huge machinery. I explained the smell of the wool etc & the interesting different processes it went through to make yarn/cloth . They drew pictures & it was fun finding the rat The collection of cars Bradford Jowetts , bikes & trains are a must see... Brilliant.
