AN EXCITING time in Bradford's history is set to be brought to life with a special event spotlighting the year 1851 - as the city hit the heights of industrial prosperity.

It will be held on Saturday, March 21, from 9.30am to 4.30pm at the Bradford Club in Piece Hall Yard.

The £20 cost includes lunch, local and family history displays and four speakers. To book, contact David Glass at 281 Poplar Grove, Bradford BD7 4HU.
