A former private member’s club, which closed in June, will be brought back into use as a temporary home for a photography gallery.

The Bradford Club, which opened in 1761 and counted Sir Titus Salt and Sir Ken Morrison among its past members, will become the home of the Impressions Gallery, when its lease in Centenary Square ends in March.

The gallery will remain in the venue in Piece Hall Yard while it develops plans for a permanent home in Bradford.

Gallery director Anne McNeill, who is to step down after 26 years in the role, said the museum had a “strong track record of working beyond conventional gallery spaces”.
