Dear old Bratfud, aka Bradford, City Of Film: home of the most beautiful bookshop in England, @mediamuseum.bsky.social, and also the best curries in England (screw you Birmingham, you don't come close)

A photograph of the inside of Bradford Waterstones by This Eye Traveller. It's in what used to be the Corn Exchange, a glorious architectural confection that makes many cathedrals look understated. The roof is all carved beams. The windows are arches full of roses. It's stunning.

These are actually part of our Roy Ashton & Phil Leakey Collection🩸 Ashton and Leakey were master make-up artists who worked on many of the British cult horror films of the mid-20th century. Often creating monsters with small budgets, they made creative use of everyday materials such as cereal!
