About Fencing in Bradford

Bradford began as a small Anglo Saxon settlement known as Broad Ford at a crossing over Bradford Beck, growing through the medieval period into a modest market town where cloth making took hold as a local trade. The Industrial Revolution changed everything, as Bradford specialised in worsted cloth and imported wool in vast quantities, transforming from a town of fewer than 7,000 people at the end of the 18th century into the processor of two thirds of England's wool by the mid 19th century, with 70 mills operating by 1841 alone. The city became so dominant in this particular branch of the trade that local historian William Cudworth coined the term Worstedopolis for it in 1888, and almost 6,000 listed buildings still stand today as a legacy of that era.
