Fountains Café: Serving Bradford for Fifty-Five Years
Fountains Café: Serving Bradford for Fifty-Five Years
Paul and Mary Georgiou opened Fountains Coffee House in 1968 at Bradford’s John Street Market (later called the Oastler Shopping Centre). Affectionately known as Fountains Café, it was run by three generations of the family and had a close-knit set of regulars. Bradfordians remember being taken there as children, with many returning with their own families later in life. The well-known and much-loved Fountains Café closed in 2023. After its closure, Bradford District Museums and Galleries acquired some of its iconic and recognisable objects which have been showcased in this display. It also includes illustrations by Clock Tower Studios and memories collected by History in Action and brought to life by Bent Architect Theatre Company.

Jekyll and Hyde
Jekyll and Hyde
A very sensible farce! Step into the shadowy, fog-drenched streets of Victorian London, where the well-meaning Dr. Henry Jekyll embarks on a noble scientific quest to unlock the mysteries of human nature… and promptly makes a complete mess of it! With the best of intentions (and absolutely no thought for potential side effects), he brews a potion that unleashes his inner monster—cue dramatic lighting and ominous music.
