Does anyone have a knowledge of Bradford Worsted Mills please? I have looked on history of Bradford sites but I am looking for a Mill that would have been close to Wild Boar Street where my Ancestor lived and worked around 1911. I am assuming that this street is no longer as I can see no reference to it latterly. Forgive me if this is not the correct board to ask for this kind of help.

By 1841 there were 38 worsted mills in Bradford town and 70 in the borough and it was estimated that two-thirds of the country's wool production was processed in Bradford. Less than ten years later, Bradford had become the wool capital of the world with a population of 100,000 leading to the development of a solid engineering and manufacturing base and a key financial centre which has continued to flourish ever since.

Thanks Whitenancy, I managed to find out how important the area was to the Industry, I just wondered if anyone had any first hand knowledge but thank you for the web address and your input with the Bolton Road too.
