Join us for a guided walk around Manningham Mills in Bradford on Saturday the 7th June. A great opportunity to celebrate the Bradford 2025 City of Culture.
Manningham Mills, formerly Lister Mill, was built in 1873 for Samuel Cunliffe Lister in a bold Italianate design, with rich decoration and a unique chimney. As well as exploring the mill, we will walk around to see a number of other nearby surviving nineteenth century buildings that tell the story of this area, including Lilycroft School, the Tradesmen’s Homes, the Bavaria Police Station and the former Bradford Children’s Hospital.
Meet in Manningham Mills (entrance from Patent Street) at 2pm for a short talk on the history of the mills and an overview of the key sites that we will visit on the walk.
There is free parking on Patent Street, adjacent to the mill entrance. The 620 bus from Bradford bus/train Interchange stops at the opposite end of the building. Alternatively, it is a 15-minute uphill walk from Frizinghall station, which also has direct trains from Leeds.
