STUDENTS from the University of Bolton have been capturing images of Bradford for future generations.
They visited Bradford Industrial Museum to learn about the work that goes into dating photographs, and were tasked with capturing their own. They were challenged to imagine a viewer 50 or 100 years into the future and take photographs of Bradford that they felt reflected the city centre in 2014.
The pictures, including the one on the right, were then judged by museum staff, with a number of highly rated entries due to join the museum’s collection of 500,000 photographs.
“We decided that Bradford would be an ideal location for students to photograph, as it is an area of constant change and has architecture of special and historic importance,” said Mark Adams, Lecturer in Photography at the University of Bolton.
“We were particularly interested in the relationship between its past and its vision for the future.”
