It's fifty years since the Bradford Industrial Museum opened, formerly Moorside Mills, a worsted spinning mill acquired by Bradford council, apparently the first local authority run industrial museum in the country. The museum contains displays of textile machinery, steam power and motor vehicles connected with the local area.
This weekend is the 50 year celebration of the museums opening and pictured is my friend Rais with a staff member at the museum. Rais was an engineering apprentice in 1973 and was one of a group of volunteers that assisted in the installation of some of the machines in the steam gallery, the engine on the left is one of the machines that he worked on.
