Bradford Industrial Museum

Bradford Industrial Museum occupies a Victorian textile mill and displays the tools, machines, and equipment that powered wool production. The building itself reflects the scale of manufacturing operations that once dominated the region.

Moorside Mills was built in 1875 as a wool-spinning factory and expanded during World War I to supply military uniforms. This growth reflects how the textile industry adapted to meet wartime needs.

The galleries show how wool processing shaped daily life and employment in the region during the industrial boom. This reflects Bradford's position as a major center for textile manufacturing and the pride local workers had in their craft.

The museum is accessible by public transport and has accessible facilities for all visitors. Plan your visit to catch the machinery demonstrations, which bring the exhibits to life.

Working historical machinery is demonstrated regularly, allowing visitors to experience the sounds and movements of industrial production from the 1800s. This hands-on approach makes the past feel immediate and real.
