In this instalment of Bradford Through The Lens, 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝘁 (local historian) talks about an amazing journey that involved an entire Somali village which was re-erected at Cartwright Hall , as part of an opening exhibition celebrating the cultures of the world in 1904.
A Somalian women by the name 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝗯𝗶 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹 who was part of the Somali village, passed away while she was in Bradford.
"𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱."
The dedication of the new memorial headstone (laid in 2004) has a Koranic inscription devised with the help of Bradford Council for Mosques.
Follow us on this journey from the amazing exhibits of the Bradford exhibition at Cartwright Hall to 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝗯𝗶 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹 's resting place at 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘂𝗺, Bradford.
Big shout out to 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝘁 for the amazing illustrations.
Thanks to Bereavement Services of Bradford Council in help locating Halimo's grave site.

British people know how to keep history alive with full respect, over a hundred years and the maintenance of the cemeteries are amazing with the respect given to the deceased.
Why don't the council do things like this these days? Absolutely stunning!!!!!! Fantastic piece of History to know. And to know about this entire event, mind blowing almost that they did all of this for just 5 months, amazing.
Not just reading & talking history but thanks to photographic evidence,seeing it.!...great.!
Fascinating! Thank goodness all those photos were taken as its so hard to believe these huge buildings, etc existed for such a short time....and real history regarding the burial.
From start to finish, another fascinating instalment in your local history series. Fantastic stuff!

What a treasure !
@@BradfordThroughTheLens Definitely, same here
Thankyou for sharing. It's so sad but fascinating. My parents are buried at that cemetery. Will try and look for Halimo's grave and offer prayers next time I'm there.
Thank you for keeping that part of history alive.
So many of our loved ones are buried there.

A very interesting video, it was good to see Andrew back. I loved the pictures seeing how the park used to look.

Yes , he is passionate about Bradford.
Glad you liked it. 👍🏽
wow, so interesting, thanks for these great videos of historic bradford
Pleasure
Fascinating video!
Thank you 👍
Me and my father are both really into ancient history and any thing old. So he found your TH-cam and this was very interesting, thank you for such amazing videos.❤
Thank you for the kind words.
Please enjoy the content 🙏
Wonder why they demolished the industrial hall? It looks a substantial building that could have been used into the future. Good video guys, and the photo's of the past.
I know.
Seems insane.
Thanks for watching.
Great video, learned a lot from this, things i didn't even knew existed. I used to work as a trainee gardener in Manning Park 1986, and my only claim to fame is that i've been in Norman Arch at the entrance to the park!
Manningham Park is a treasure. Beautiful place.
Thanks for watching 👀
Very nice video I've just subscribed to your channel
Really appreciate it. Thank you.
Thanks for another great video . Will visit the grave next time I visit this cemetery for sure.
Let me know if you have any issues locating it.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
Just shows so much history is forgotten about. Thank you for sharing and producing such content. Just a thought but another 'series' that would be great is that of the migration of immigrants coming over to our city. From pre WW2 right to the 80's.
Thanks for feedback and your idea.
Definitely, I will think this one over with the team.
So interesting living just a stones throw away from this park and not know it had such history. The misconception of Cartwright Hall being Mr Listers resident is common amongst the locals lol. I'd suggest looking into Bradford Grammar School I d love to learn more about that historic building
They knew how to party bank then.
Watch this space .🤪
More quirky videos in the pipeline
@@BradfordThroughTheLens They sure did, would if lived to take a tumble on the water slide but with today's health and safety don't think so lol
@@ImranKhan-K11A17 😃
How long did it take Cartwright Hall to be built? From the very first stone to the last?
1900 to 1904
interesting
Hay not sure you will see this but an idea do some videos on Bradford mills that are abandoned I would like to see inside steeped in history. Bradford was once the most wealthiest city and we where nick named little London. We exported cotton and wool, there is is salts mill /village but we have lots of mills around with history that young people of today have no clue about, I love the old architecture in Bradford
Totally agree 👍🏻
Definitely got a few on our list to do. Thanks for commenting.
My grandfather was one if the men in the village tour born 1884 Free Town Sierra Leone he stayed in uk not sure how he got involved with the Somali tour
That's incredible!
Did he leave any memorabilia behind ?
@@BradfordThroughTheLens I have a newspaper article about him on his 62 birthday stating he was part of the village tour, at one stage he went to America as a valet for the famous Black Boxer Jack Johnson
@carolinecoffey5404 Would love to time travel and talk to someone like him.
So much history. Thanks for sharing.
I was just wondering what was the connection between the Somali and Bradford? I presume the culture/people was not just randomly selected? Do we know what that connection was? I hope they got proper compensation for there loses.
They were a tribe visiting all around Europe, knicknamed the human zoo.... sign of the Times, this event was a stop off for them so probably booked on the european tour
Where is her grave? I'd like to visit
It's a bit difficult to explain, but I roughly gave directions / plot no of the grave at end of video. Hope it helps. Thanks
I wonder if she was also the first African buried in Bradford.
Good point.
Haleemo wasn't.
@@akrecyclingltd who was?
Not sure who was the first, but South African Prince Richard Umhala aged 8 died and buried in Bradford in 1848
Thanks for this interesting video, how kind that a memorial stone was placed on this lady's resting place. Haleemo has her name back and isn’t a forgotten soul in an unmarked grave. Thanks for the story.
So they took her and kept her as human zoo
Yes
