The new coffee tavern at Bradford
Interior and exterior views of the new coffee tavern in Bradford, inaugurated by W. E Forster, M.P in 1879. The Coffee Tavern movement was a Victorian effort to get people out of pubs. Proposed by the Bradford councillor, alderman and magistrate, Frederick Priestman, the tavern was opened at the junction of Westgate, Ivegate and Kirkgate and was an immediate commercial success serving food as well as coffee. Within a few years there were 28 branches in the Bradford district but with over 400 licensed beer sellers in the area, how much of a sobering effect they had on the local population is debatable

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures both the interior and exterior views of The New Coffee Tavern in Bradford, which was inaugurated by W.E. Forster, M.P in 1879. The Coffee Tavern movement was an intriguing Victorian initiative aimed at encouraging people to abandon pubs and instead seek refuge in establishments that served coffee and light refreshments. Proposed by the Bradford councillor, alderman, and magistrate, Frederick Priestman, the tavern was strategically located at the junction of Westgate, Ivegate, and Kirkgate, and quickly became a commercial success. Within a few short years, there were 28 branches of the Coffee Tavern in the Bradford district. However, with over 400 licensed beer sellers in the area, the impact of the Coffee Taverns on the local population's sobriety is debatable. The interior of the tavern, as depicted in the photograph, boasts an inviting atmosphere with its ornate decor and warm lighting. The exterior view showcases the tavern's prominent location at the bustling intersection, drawing in passersby with its appealing facade. The New Coffee Tavern in Bradford was a trailblazer in the Coffee Tavern movement, paving the way for similar establishments to emerge and offering an alternative to the area's numerous pubs. This photograph is an essential piece of Bradford's rich history, providing a glimpse into the past and the societal shifts that took place during the Victorian era. The Coffee Tavern movement, though debated in its effectiveness, represents an intriguing chapter in the city's history, and the New Coffee Tavern at the junction of Westgate, Ivegate, and Kirkgate stands as a testament to that era.
