A look at how our working lives have changed over the past 100 years.
This episode takes a look at how our working lives have changed over the past 100 years. It includes interviews and archive film from a team of ambulance drivers who made their own training film, the social and sporting life of a Bradford policeman, and an Otley paper mill who engaged their own private firefighting unit during the Second World War. The programme also goes behind the scenes at a weekly newspaper in the 1960s and takes a look at the life of a Bradford carpet salesman who went on to become the manager and chairman of Bradford City.
