As friendship, love, and unity, Compose the bond of peace,
In them may our community
Join hands and thus increase.

(part of a poem read out during the 1825 celebration.)

Welcome

Bradford was world famous for wool and almost everyone that came here came because of wool. It is still an important part of Bradford, part of the warp and weft of our history, society and economy. Bradford Woolly Heritage celebrates and promotes the economic, historical and social yarns that wool has spun for us.

    Our mission is to support the bid for Bradford 2025 by exploring and sharing the history and culture of the wool industry in Bradford, celebrating historical figures like Bishop Blaise.    St Blaise Wool Festival was last held in 1825, when Bradford was a world leader in textile manufacturing. We would love to see the 200th anniversary marked in Bradfords City of Culture Bid.

    Bishop Blaise

    Saint Blaise was an Armenian Bishop who was martyred around 317 A.D. by having his head chopped off, after being ‘tortured’ with iron combs. He is mostly remembered as the Patron of throat troubles, thanks to saving a child from choking on a fish bone, but the use of iron combs in his death also made him the Patron of wool-combers.
