Cartwright Hall Art Gallery
Standing in Lister Park, Bradford, Cartwright Hall was built on the former site of Manningham Hall, and opened as a gallery in 1904. The hall housed a display of loaned artworks before acquiring its own collection of Victorian and Edwardian works using funds from the 1904 Bradford Industrial Exhibition. Perusing the gallery is perfect for a leisurely trip out.
