BBC Turn back Time. The High Street Bradford
If you've seen this on BBC1 then you know what it's all about; if not here is the trailer for the programme:

As part of the programme the BBC have visited a number of locations around the country to re-create shops from the 1930/40 era. Have a look at this great website all about history wherever you are in the country, here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/handsonhistory/)
These are some pics from when they visited Bradford in part of the old Brown. Muff building (no sniggering at the back there young Boxfrenzy!) :)
on to the pics:
