Tickets are £5 including Coffee and cake Wednesday June 4th The Bradford Boar – the legend of the Bradford Boar and its capture is essential to the interpretation of the original City of Bradford court of arms. It is a story associated with the area from the period just before the Wars of the Roses when Bradford was surrounded by woodland. It is a story of bravery and betrayal with a happy ending. Wednesday 2nd July Reverend Jonathan Glyde – the man who inspired Titus Salt? Rev Glyde was the minister of Horton Lane Chapel [now Glyde House} in the early 1800s. Though not a native of our city he worked tirelessly to improve the health, education, moral welfare and living conditions of his adopted home. His legacy to the area and influence on the people he met was enormous especially to his family friend Titus Salt. Wednesday 6th August A history of Bradford through its buildings c1200 to c1900. Though most people think Bradford lost its most interesting buildings in the 1960s the city still has a variety of constructions which give clues to its growth and development. By looking at old maps and plans the original small settlement of the early middle ages can be visualised. The hidden old buildings in the centre and suburbs bring its history and growth to life. Wednesday 3rd September Bronte Influences The Bronte family produced some of our county’s best loved literature. Father, son and daughters were greatly influenced by their surroundings, local legends, people they met, places they visited and national/international events. All of them visited, at some time in their lives, places far away from Haworth. Their books are based on the people they met, the places they stayed and the stories they heard.
