Bradford: City of Dreams

Bradford, once one of the richest cities in Britain, has always been a magnet for economic migrants, from the Irish rural poor who came to work in the mills in the 1800s via German Jewish merchants who traded in cloth at the turn of the 19th century and on through the Asian immigration in the second half of the 20th Century.

The final episode explains how Bradford's long tradition as a magnet for economic migrants is still alive today, as eastern Europeans settle in the city to build their lives and businesses. It also portrays how Bradfordians are adapting to make the most of the business opportunities created by this migration.
