Forster Square looks a world away from the concrete retail park and railway station of today. Instead, the square was a bustling hub with public gardens and trams to transport people to and from.
Other photographs show the stunning Bradford City Hall, which was built John Ives & Son of Shipley in the 19th-century, as well as the busy Leeds Road, now a major road in the city full of independent restaurants and businesses.
The imposing Lister Mill looms in one of the photographs. The Manningham mill was the largest text mill in North England at one point and employed 11,000 men, women and children.
