Another Day In Bradford

I'm currently  in Bradford as part of a 6 day Summer/Autumn school. We had a marvelous day at the Textile Archive studying old weaving sample books to look for inspiration for our current project, which in my case is verdigris. This is my mood board, which is supposed to do exactly what it says in the title

                                 

Bradford is a wonderful city, vibrant and warm, though I'm saddened by the closure of so many mills and factories which as a weaver I'm naturally fascinated by. On my travels I've spotted these beauties







                                                                                                     

Which I couldn't resist photographing, the top one is a door to what I think was a worsted spinners factory and the lower one is from a warehouse.
