Wild Boar Street with Naseem Darbey
Wild Boar Street explores the hidden history of Bradford’s lost Wapping district.
Led by Naseem Darbey, the project brings together archaeology, the environment, art and local knowledge, giving local people the chance to discover, explore and celebrate the history of an area that has mostly disappeared from the city’s landscape.
Building on Mona and the Moths from OUR TURN 2025, the project will uncover physical items, personal stories and memories of Wapping, helping to build a picture of what the area was like and what it meant to the people who lived there.
