I recently received a very generous donation from Nancy O'Donnell of Bradford.

She passed on to me her 5 prized copies of City Limits Magazine.

This was a local Bradford magazine that started in the late 1940s and was produced for only a short time.

The magazines depict a lively era in Bradford's history and they are full of fun photos and great store ads.

I was going to pick out the best parts of each magazine to present to Back to Bradford visitors, but decided to showcase them as a whole.

So, below are links to pdf files for each complete magazine. It takes a few minutes for the large files to upload.

ENJOY! And thank you so much, Nancy, for sharing your treasure with the rest of us!
