The show will capture stories of the diverse communities that have lived and worked in Manningham from pre-Industrial Revolution to the present.
It will focus on some of Bradford's history, including the Manningham Mills Strike of 1890; the birth of the Independent Labour Party; arts events including Bradford Festival and Mela, which attracted more than 200,000 people in its heyday.
