"The year this anthology was made sparked my love of reading and writing, and my life simply hasn’t been the same. This book allowed me to blossom creatively and mentally. It changed who I am." Diana's precious Poetry Anthology on #Bradfordrevealed. Read more https://buff.ly/3s8ytyz

What's this then? 👇

"I was programmed by the Alhambra Studio in 1999 to present a new production ‘Krishna Dances’. Krishna is known for playing the bamboo flute, so I got together with photographer Tim Smith and dancer Leonard Jackson to create this photo. I was delighted when the theatre liked it so much they used it for the season brochure cover. I grew up in Bradford and still live there. The Alhambra Theatre holds a special place in my heart, it’s where the world of performance, imagination and creativity was sparked for me. This was the first time I was programmed by the theatre to present a full evening’s work to a paying audience, so the brochure holds many happy memories." Balbir

"My special object is my coin collection. I started collecting special coins a few years ago. My uncle inspired me with his large coin collection. I have lots of special edition 50p coins as well as coins from other countries. Two coins are from the Media Museum where I put a penny coin in a machine and it came out with a different design and the coin was flattened." Ammaarah , Beckfoot Heaton Primary School & Nursery

Sunsets over Roberts Park in Shipley are often quite spectacular and here we have a fine example, proving that even during Lockdown there can be beauty.

In Edwardian times this stretch of the River Aire was used for boating and it’s not hard to imagine families floating by in their buttoned up Sunday best. Today it’s reserved for the ducks who seem to use the river bank as a sort of community centre where they can squabble and make a bit of a racket.

Roberts Park is a haven for anyone who wants exercise and fresh air – even in these chilly winter days of first frosts and late afternoon sunsets.

This is a trilobite, do you know what that is? One of the first creatures to develop complex eyes, about 400 million years ago!!

"It used to scuttle on a Devonian ocean shelf. Now it maintains a stony silence in Saltaire, in an Edwardian terrace on a wooden shelf. It reminds me of the wonders of evolution and my time as a geologist, eons ago." Rory

Sunday's BRADFORD REVEALED 🤗

"This is a bullnose rebate plane; a gift from my late father in law. The plane body was cast from a wooden pattern he made. His name is stamped into the wedge that secures the blade. He is greatly missed by the whole family but it pleases us that his tools are still in daily use" Simon

Local artist N. S. Crichton was commissioned to paint Bradford buildings and streets in the 1870s and 1880s. 19th -century Bradford was vastly changing at the time and Crichton’s paintings provides a unique insight into ‘bygone Bradford’ for posterity.
