The historic Conditioning House was established as a wool testing centre through a special Act of Parliament passed in 1887. It was built around 1902 and in its heyday employed hundreds of people but Bradford Council decided to sell it and the building was closed. Nearly 70% of all wool produced in the UK would have been brought here for testing prior to use.

This place is lethal, the floors are extremely rotten and in some areas full of holes! Visited with two non-members.

I do like those walkways and the building itself is pretty cool! Nice to see somewhere with a lot of stuff still inside from its heyday. Great report :)

Thanks, it makes a nice change from all the smashed, stripped mills.
