    A new project is looking to put names to the faces of thousands of people who were subjects of a photography studio in the Manningham area of Bradford.

    Belle Vue studios documented people's lives from the 1920s until it closed in 1975.

    After World War Two the portraits increasingly featured migrants who came to the city from around the world.

    The project wants to put names to the people, find them or their families and hear their stories.

    The studio took pictures of many arrivals from Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, the Caribbean, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
