i know, when you look up at the architecture you can see the wealth and heritage of the city so well. Its so sad that now its more like a 3rd world slum isnt it
The city centre is half the size it used to be. Anyone visiting today would think it a small town because so many streets of shops and buildings have just disappeared. 10:20 is a good example. These streets are no longer there. This is just a road and open spaces now going past the Odeon and Alhambra. This is the same all over Bradford centre. It's a real shame.
Causes of the current state of Britain's big cities can probably be summed up as: decline of UK manufacturing; decisions made by councils and developers, leading to new buildings and shopping centres that lack the attractive architectural features seen in older buildings; a massive influx of relatively poor individuals and families
Born in bradford in 1958 was dragged away in 67 to live in lancashire we went back on a visit in 1973 the house we lived in on st stevens road had gone but my old school ryan st juniors was still standing watching this brought back memories
I went back last week to visit my Brother and friends, some of the buildings are still standing but look very strange against the new buildings it's such a shame things have to change 😪. I called in at Leeds too it's like the New York skyline and very easy get lost now there's so many changes...
thanks for this, interesting to see how places i know, and a once great industrial city has now changed. i have known bradford well since the 70's, and have lived in one of the better areas on the outskirts for almost 30 years now, but whenever anyone asks me where i live, i don't want to even acknowledge bradford at all, it's joke and a shithole now, and we all know why. the ridiculous woke 'city of culture' award for 2025 is totally pathetic, given to pacify just one culture, and it's not ours. i rarely go anywhere near the city now unless forced to, in part coz the standard of driving has to be the worst anywhere in the country.
Looked better then as in now
Beautiful ❤ I enjoyed the multiple features of Bolling hall.
Once a proud city! Been in decline for decades now!

Is it nostalgia for the past ? Is it reincarnation ? Either way I feel that I have walked those streets,somewhere in time !
