Visit Bradford Industrial Museum
Bradford Industrial Museum, it's been here a long time but often gets overlooked and forgotten about and doesn't seem to get the advertising or visitors that it rightly deserves.
It's basically indoors although you do have to pop out to a couple of external building to see more exhibits so ideal to visit if the weather isn't great but it is also just a great a place to visit when you're not hiding from bad weather too.

There's quite an array of things on show here from the large industrial machines which are often running for visitors to see, to a selection of classic cars like the Jowett that were manufactured in Bradford from 1906 to 1954.
