Laura says
. . .
Bradford's Industrial Museum
is dedicated to the olden days, recreating life in late 19th Century Bradford.
It encompasses the old mill, the original mill stables and shire horses
and a cobbled road with back-to-back cottages all perfectly restored to
the way it was back then.
Currently on show is a motorcycle
exhibition featuring some impressive bikes, new and old. Or for a more
authentic journey into the past, take a horse-drawn carriage, or a ride
on a tram pulled by one of the beautiful shire horses.
