A Bradford historian has been given a section of the city's Industrial Museum to exhibit some of his collection, after appearing in the Telegraph & Argus.

And the 30-year-old, who has been passionate about Bradford's history since childhood, has also become a volunteer at the museum.

Andrew Bolt's interest in local history started as a child when his grandfather died and left him a box of old possessions.

Now he has more than 7,000 items, from old books to badges.

Andrew was featured in the T&A when he supported Bradford's bid to become European Capital of Culture by putting forward an idea for a heritage centre.

The story caught the eye of Industrial Museum staff who have given Andrew space for a four-week exhibition.

"It's an exhibition of some old photographs of workers at the Britannia Mill taken in the 1930s," he said.

"I acquired the pictures in an album passed down in the family.

"The mill, off Nelson Street, was demolished in the 1970s so it will still hold memories for some people.

"The photographs are of the workers celebrating King George's coronation. The mill is decorated with flags.

"They are of office staff right down to mill hands. They provide a graphic illustrations of the faces behind the machinery.

"The Industrial Museum is the perfect setting for them because in one room you can see the original machinery and in the next room you can see pictures of the people who worked on it.

"It will be particularly interesting to people who have relatives in the pictures."
