The North In Focus – Historical Archive Photographs by C.H. Wood

The North in Focus celebrates the early work of C. H. Wood and represents life in and around Bradford and the North of England in the first half of the twentieth century. The black and white prints are taken from glass negatives and include stunning aerial views of Northern Cities and towns from the 1930’s until the 1960’s. Many have never previously been displayed in public and give a visual insight into the life and landscapes of Northern Britain in the first half of the twentieth century.
