This elegant narrow building stands on the corner of Cater Street and Burnett Street in the Little Germany district of Bradford. Bradford’s main industry was woollen production and at one time had so many mills that it was known as the wool capital of the world.

In order to meet the demand for experienced workers many people emigrated to Bradford from Europe. This area known as Little Germany was home to the German merchants who came to Bradford in the late 1850s for the prosperous textile industry. Today these unique buildings form a collection of 85 buildings constructed between 1855 and 1890. Many of them are English Heritage Listed Buildings, as is this one.
Year of construction: 1862
