Bit of Bradford History
"The Brigantes"
were so far as recorded in History the
Aboriginal Inhabitants of the Bradford Area.
 In Saxon times Bradford was a small village by a river crossing called a Ford, Brad meant Broad.
It became known as the Village with the(Broad"Ford)..
As the village began to grow. the people were allowed to have a weekly Market .And it soon became a busy Town.
.....................................................................................................
In the Doomsday book 1086 Bradford had less than 1000 people.
A man of Norse descent
named Gamel was the biggest land owner at the time

Bradford over the years has changed big time,lots of fantastic buildings have been destroyed
and lost forever . A once vibrant City is Now a shadow of its former self.
On this site we can take a look back at the wonderful Buildings , Suburbs and People.

In 1846, George Weerth, a young German on holiday in England, described Bradford in a far from positive light in an article he wrote for a German newspaper: "In Bradford, however, you think you have been lodged with the devil incarnate. If anyone wants to feel how a poor sinner is tormented in Purgatory, let him travel to Bradford."

"It seems some time ago now!"
"I only had a few names to go on!"
With the help of the Internet i now have over
300 people and 41 Surnames in my family tree.
I can trace my Family back over 200 years.
To the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the Bradford West Yorkshire Area
