Bradford and David Hockney
Cartwright Hall is the civic art gallery in Bradford, West Yorkshire. It was built on the former site of Manningham Hall in memory of Dr Edmund Cartwright, who invented the power loom, using a gift of £40,000 donated by Industrialist Samuel Lister. The gallery which opened in 1904 has a permanent collection of Victorian and Edwardian art. It also has a gallery dedicated to the life and work of David Hockney.
Time for lunch in Cartwright Hall (not included)
In the afternoon we will visit Bolling Hall one of the oldest buildings in Bradford. The earliest sections of the building date back to the fourteenth century and it has been interpreted as a pele tower. In the eighteenth century parts of the house were modernised by the architect John Carr, following a fire. Bolling Hall is a rambling mixture of styles, with rooms furnished and decorated to give an accurate taste of life at different periods of the house's history, and the furniture on display includes a superb bed made for Harewood House by Thomas Chippendale.
Finishing with a short visit to Bradford Industrial Museum, established in 1974 in Moorside Mills, Eccleshill, specialising in relics of local industry, especially printing and textile machinery all kept in working order.
