We're exploring Timmy Feather's loom, the last Handloom weaver in the district, who died in 1910 in Stanbury. The beam has been worn away from the decades of his hands resting and pushing it as he wove. Seeing that direct evidence of someone in the past is very special.#bradfordrevealed #bradford

Today's Bradford Revealed comes to you from Bronte

Today's Bradford Revealed comes to you from Bronte Parsonage Museum, it's fascinating, enjoy!

"This white china mug is believed to have been presented to Emily Brontë at her christening, which took place on 20 August 1818. Emily (1818-1848), along with her famous siblings, was born at the parsonage on Market Street in Thornton. She was christened at the Old Bell Chapel nearby, where her father served as perpetual curate. The mug is now part of the collection at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, which became home to the Brontë family following their move from Thornton in 1820."

Can you trump that with your Bradford Revealed, get in touch and share with us by following the link in our bio. #bradfordrevealed #bradford #509arts #bronteparsonage #bronteheritage #brontesisters #emilybronte #haworth #brontefamily #brontemuseum

Did you catch this lovely story from Evelyn?

The Bear With No Name is at least 85 years old and was given to Evelyn when she was a baby. Evelyn is well known in Shipley and generations of children have called her Brown Owl due to her long association with the Guides.

The Bear With No Name went to live with Evelyn's sister when Evelyn was 18 and didn't come back home for 40 years. He was always a novelty as he had white fur rather than the usual brown, but it's all gone now and The Bear With No Name is quite bald, although just as loveable and precious to Evelyn as ever. #bradfordrevealed

We're sharing Paula's #bradfordrevealed today and what a great share it is!!

"Here is a picture of my rocking chair. I inherited it from my Grandad who was the child of Italian immigrants, (one of ten children) who came to settle in Bradford in the late 1800’s. Before that it was my Grandmother’s and my Great Grandmother's - children of Irish Immigrants around the same time. When I was about 6 years old I asked him if I could have it when he died ‘because you are so old you might die soon’. (Oh dear… anyone over the age of 20yrs old was ancient at that age). He asked me how much pocket money I got and I said 10 pence a week. He said he wasn’t planning on dying any time soon, but he would sell me it. I asked how much he wanted for it, to which he replied, ‘Well, it was valued at £150.00 but as it’s you, you can have it for the discounted price of £149.99.' (Served me right!). I was distraught because I couldn’t think of a way to earn that much money - ever! It kept me awake at nights, I loved the chair so much. Anyway, as you can see, in spite of my cheek, the chair came to me and I still have it. "

"When I started learning piano aged 7 my parents bought this instrument for me to practice on and it’s been in our family ever since. It was made in Bradford by Joshua Marshall presumably in the late Victorian period and still sounds fantastic – I love thinking about all the Bradford people who’ve played it over the years. About 5 years ago I inherited a German piano and so I gave my Bradford piano to my nephew in Derby. I still miss it though as it had become a familiar old friend."

How precious it is to be able to make, create and do things; all sorts of things, with my hands." #bradfordrevealed #bradford #family #community #hands #precioustime #instalove #familylove #familytime #yorkshire #instalife #life

Tristam & Isoude
A demonstration of the wealth and taste of those made rich by the textile industry in Bradford. A series made for Harden Grange. It was the first ever commission from Morris & Co for a private house, rather than a public building or church. There’s always a new detail to spot – like the heart in the ‘love philtre’ panel! #bradfordrevealed
