Bradford s Peace Museum looking for new home after fundraising campaign

BRADFORD’S Peace Museum has announced it has now raised enough money to start looking for new premises to house its collections, exhibitions and educational work.  The museum - the only one in the UK dedicated to the history of peace - has been a part of the city for many years and it has been a long-term goal to move to a bigger and more suitable space. Its current home, in Piece Hall Yard in the city centre, is not large enough to accommodate its growing collection and learning programme - and is located up 60 steps with no lift access - making it inaccessible.

Look back at the Masons Arms | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

IN my recent article on the Shoulder of Mutton I went back to Bradford’s earlier history and one of its oldest streets, Kirkgate. Here I go to another ancient thoroughfare, Stott Hill, off Church Bank. My photograph (courtesy Bradford Local Studies) shows the Masons Arms there. When I looked at the title deeds to the property at Bradford Council, the earliest deed was of the late 16th century. These cottages, however, probably date from the 17th century. Elizabeth Ward had inherited the property from her father Robert, who was the parish clerk. She married Samuel Fearnley, a stonemason and it was one of their six children, Robert, who converted his share of the property into a beerhouse in 1845.

Bradford s Peace Museum takes a step closer to new home dream | Bradford Telegraph and Argus

BRADFORD S Peace Museum has taken a major step forward in reaching its goal to raise £20,000 towards a new base in the heart of the city.  The museum, the only one of its kind in the UK, launched a crowdfunding campaign to help achieve its mission of moving to more visible, accessible and spacious premises and has already raised more than £10,000. The aim is to show more of its nationally important collection in the gallery rather than in storage, put on more ambitious exhibitions, and have a purpose-built education space. With the support of visitors, followers and the local community, the Peace Museum is looking to continue its vital work in building peace and shining a spotlight on stories of non-violent social justice movements.
