Bradford Friends Young Men's Mutual Improvement Society.

This Society was established in December 1867 with the aim of promoting the "mental, moral and social improvement of its members, by means of essays, debating and general miscellaneous readings". It met every two weeks and its first secretary was G.H. Braithwaite. Meetings were opened and closed by reading 'a portion of scripture'. By mid 1873, the Society was in decline. Activity revived the following year in the form of the Bradford Friends Essay and Discussion Society, which operated on very similar lines.
