A walk for Heritage Weekend in September starting in Victoria Park, Oakenshaw and using the Spen Valley Greenway to access the area of the explosion.

Low Moor Walk No 5 – The Low Moor Explosion – a new addition to our free walks leaflets series which visits the site of the explosion.

"Yellow Poppies" is a new book written by Barbara Reardon and Mary Twentyman chronicling the lives of those who died as a result of the explosion and some of the people who received awards or assisted in the aftermath.

"The Low Moor Explosion – an explanation……?" by Ronald Blackwell originally published in 1987 and reprinted with extra pages in 2016 is the main source of information on this tragic occurrence. "History of the Bradford Fire Brigade" by Chris Smith to be published in 2016 will include a chapter devoted to the explosion.
