City Hall Bradford. A stunningly beautiful building reflecting Victorian Bradford’s civic pride. Its designer, William Mawson of ‘Lockwood & Mawson’ fame, has his final resting place at Undercliffe.

Floors to rub or irons to clean?

Some help is offered from my 1830s manuscript cookbook.

Useful or just utterly beautiful?

It's #NationalButtonDay 👕
Today we are celebrating the wonderful little fasteners that have been around since 2600 BCE, but first used to connect clothing in 13th century Germany 🇩🇪 up until that point they had been purely decorative 🤯 What's your fave thing about buttons? 🤔

@BradfordMuseums @MovemberUK Love that you've shown us William Shackleton's magnificent mouser! He had a great set of whiskers as an older man too - drew this portrait of him from a photo in your wonderful collections, he's got finer bristles than his best paintbrush! 😍🖌️

An array of cotton yarns being wound together with viscose onto pirns to go into the shuttles on our 1930's Hattersley looms. This creates a lovely flecked weft effect used in a variety of our archive designs.
