About Bradford - show infohide info

Bradford is the major settlement in the City of Bradford metropolitan settlement, in the county of West Yorkshire. The city has a population of 295,000. The name Bradford comes from the 'Broad Ford', at the Church Bank by the site of Bradford Cathedral, around which a settlement had begun to appear by the time of the Norman Conquest. The stream, now called Bradford Beck, passes (partly underground) to the River Aire, near Shipley. It was during the industrial revolution that Bradford saw rapid expansion. It had a long association with the textile industry, however in the 19th century, the industry in Bradford became world famous. Near to the city were deposits of the materials needed to clean the wool, and to power the machinery used in the manufacture of the textiles. Bradford's local stone provided an excellent building material for the mills, and a large local population allowed for a large labour force. Today, the mills have almost all shut down and been replaced by modern, 'cleaner' industries such as financial services (Bradford is home of the Bradford and Bingley Building society) and light manufacturing. One of the few mills that remains is now a musuem - Titus Salt's mill, which is located in Saltaire. Around the mill still remains a planned community, designed and built by Salt to house his workers. The settlement allowed the workers of Saltaire to live in great comfort compared to workers in most mills in the rest of the UK. Another remaining mill is Lister's Mill, the chimney of which can be seen from around the towns. Bradford is home to a large university, which has around 10,000 students. The town boats many Victorian buildings, including the Wool Exchange, Bollingham Hall and the district of Bradford known as Little Germany. There are also 4 theatres, including the famous Alhambra. Bradford is home to the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television, which has an Imax cinema. There is also an industrial museum, and a colour museum, and Cartwright Hall in Lister Park is an art gallery. Bradford has two stations, Bradford Forster Square and Bradford Interchange. Bradford Forster Square is a terminus station, and sees trains to Leeds, Ilkley and Skipton. It also sees peak time services to London Kings Cross. Bradford Interchange sees mainly Trans-Pennine services from Blackpool and Manchester to Leeds and York, with additional local services between Selby and Micklefield. Nearby towns to Bradford include Leeds, Halifax, Dewsbury, Skipton, Rothwell, Morley, Pudsey, Shipley, Horsforth, Wakefield and Brighouse.
