Willum Whitrick
Tour Guide
I have many interests; Reading, walking, local history, and folklore. I am interested in all forms of transport. I am a trustee and secretary for Bradford Trolleybus Association. I also own a 1953 Austin Somerset.
I saw an article in the Telegraph & Argus looking for volunteers for Bradford Police Museum. Unfortunately the museum had to close for Covid.
After Covid I saw a bit about the museum at a bus gathering, and decided to re-apply, and start training as a museum guide.
I really enjoy meeting people, and also passing on my knowledge. I have met some very interesting people. I have also made some good friends at the museum. We all get on really well, and have good fun.
