Anotace knihy

Bradford rose to prominence during the nineteenth century as an international centre of textile manufacture. It typified the Industrial Revolution, and rapidly became the 'wool capital of the world'. The area's access to coal and iron ore facilitated the growth of its manufacturing base, which, as textile manufacture grew, led to an explosion in population. The textile sector in Bradford fell into decline from the mid-twentieth century. Since this time, Bradford has emerged as a tourist destination, becoming the first UNESCO City of Film with attractions such as the National Media Museum, Bradford City Park, the Alhambra theatre and Cartwright Hall. However, Bradford has faced similar challenges to the rest of the post-industrial area of Northern England, including deindustrialisation, social unrest and economic deprivation. In Abandoned Bradford, Mark Davis throws some of the dark corners of the city into the limelight, explaining the history behind these lost and forgotten buildings.
