This 8-foot mural, created in the 1960s by noted German artist Grete Marks (1899-1990) depicts Bradford’s Forster Square as it appeared over a century ago.
Marks trained at the Bauhaus. She was commissioned to design the mural for the entrance of Central House offices in Forster Square, Bradford.
The mural artwork is based on a Victorian watercolour by Neil Stuart Crichton. It captures the canal basin and Bradford Cathedral, reflecting the city’s rich industrial past. This evocative image, now rendered in ceramic, bears the distinctive style of Marks.
