      For a future video, consider going to the top end of Walsgrave road in Coventry! It's a big road - go closer to the town centre, then can venture to the town after. I lived there before I moved abroad... Ropy is the word that comes to mind. (one of the main reasons I moved abroad) Would be an interesting visit.

      If you don’t believe me go look at what the home office report says. As for the rest of your thinly veiled racist bigoted nonsense. I’ve heard it 1 million times before. It all sounds like GB News headlines, Daily Mail headlines, the Sun newspaper headlines and the daily Telegraph headlines. You’re just a parrot parroting right-wing crap. Most of the British people don’t align with your views and your values or should I say lack there of. Hence why the Tories are getting annihilated and hence why reform uk aren’t doing anywhere as near as well as they would hope to be. Look what happened to UKIP. They never won one seat in parliament, and they disbanded. There are Muslims in the British Armed Forces willing to die for this country. There are Muslims in the NHS and care homes who were on the front line throughout the pandemic, saving British peoples lives. Immigrants contribute billions to the British economy every year. Take immigrants out of the UK and the country would grind to a halt. End of story.

    I've worked in Bradford a number of times over the years and the city centre has improved particularly since a lot of the brutalist 70's architecture has been removed, though the anodyne stuff which has replaced it is still no match for the Victorian architecture of old. Haven't had a drink in the same since my Bradford College (16-18 yrs old) days in the mid 80's when we used to visit all the supposed rough house pubs in the city centre of the time and with never an issue.

    How much is a quid in USD? No disrespect meant, I love the videos. I'm only curious because in every video you labor over the beer prices when they're all in that 3-5 range. In this video 3.50 vs 4.50 sounds like no real difference at all.

    Bradford is a great. Lived here 17 years. Some of the most welcoming people (of all colours and creeds) I've ever met. Despite the issues of poverty and the council trying to butcher what's left of the City centre and outer estates, we all try and stick together in the struggle. Some awesome eating spots too. Outsiders love to knock us (particularly evident in the UA-cam comments section and local paper) but they have no clue what goes on.

I dread to think how many it is now they've added nearly a thousand houses on the outskirts of the village. Everyone living here now has a new build they cant afford, a brand new car on tick, a rolex from watches of switzerland also on tick and they are happy to spend way over the odds on a beer in the 'cool pub'. Its mad the number of people you come across who never visited the village before buying a house, they sell so quick they just commit to it online and then come down.

    Just like Charlie Veitch who has also visited Bradford at least 5 or 6 times in the last 2 years, but doesn't realise where he is most of the time, as his Geography knowledge is poor.
    This massive homelessness problem is a recent thing. It wasn't like this 5 years ago. There were only around 5-10 homeless people that you'd see on a regular basis, usually begging, busking or selling The Big Issue in the same few places (roughly 1 at each location) around the city centre. Now there's homeless people everywhere.
    Now for some film and TV history...

    • @danielgardecki1046
      @danielgardecki1046 Місяць тому +1

      The Cheapside Arches and Cheapside itself, mainly in and around the Midland Hotel between 1:22 to 1:40 have appeared in stuff like Billy Liar (1963), Minder (1979-1994), L.A. Without a Map (1998), Lies We Tell (2017), Gold (2018), Commando 3 (2019), Lunar C: Puffer Jacket (2020), The Duke (2020), Peaky Blinders (2013-2022) etc.
      The Wool Exchange at 1:42 has appeared in Billy Liar (1963), Life at the Top (1965), Ali & Ava (2021), plus a few more scripted productions which have slipped my mind, which I'll remember eventually, when I rewatch them again.
      The soon to be demolished Kirkgate Shopping Centre at 2:00 has no doubt appeared in many things, however I only know of one (other than various music videos/freestyles on the roof) which is, a brief appearance in Spooks: Code 9 (2008), which filmed all over the city centre.
      Bradford City Hall, Centenary Square directly in front of City Hall, and City Park at the side of City Hall, at 2:14 have been used in at least 50 film and productions, not to mention many many more where they've appeared in background shots. At least 10 Oscar winners have walked the corridors of Bradford City Hall.
      Bradford Magistrates' Court at 2:25 has been used for things like Spooks: Code 9 (2008), National Treasure (2016) although the interior was filmed in Bradford City Hall, and Bad Boy Chiller Crew: Free - Nathan Dawe Remix feat Tyrone Gordon and Chris Nichols (2021).
      Also at 2:25 where the One City Park building now is, is where the now demolished Bradford Central Police Station stood. It was used in stuff like Edge of Darkness (1985), Spooks: Code 9 (2008) again, The Damned United (2009), The Red Riding Trilogy (2009), many more scripted productions I've forgotten, plus various documentaries about crime.
      And again at 2:25 in the distance, the National Science and Media Museum, The Alhambra Theatre, and Bradford Live have been used in countless productions, impossible to know how many, most of which are documentaries obviously, however there's also been quite a few scripted productions and even a music video.
      City Vaults between 2:34 and 4:38 has probably been used in loads of stuff, however can only think of Make Bradford British (2012).
      The Bradford Club with the Union Jack outside at 2:40 has been used in The Great Train Robbery (2013), The ABC Murders (2018), and Peaky Blinders (2013-2022) apparently, although I still haven't worked out what Peaky Blinders used it for. It's also been used in a few other productions I've forgotten, mainly productions from pre-2013.
      Ivegate from 4:56 to 5:17 has been used in Spooks: Code 9 (2008) again, other TV dramas I've forgotten, although I think The Syndicate (TV Series 2012-2021) might be one of them, and multiple random documentaries, just like most of the other places I've mentioned.
      The Boy & Barrel at 5:42 has been used in Room at the Top (1958), Make Bradford British (2012), and some old TV dramas I've forgotten.
      Everything £1 next door at 5:42 is where the giant retail chain Poundworld was started by Christopher Edwards Sr. It featured in the final episode of Pound Shop Wars (2012).
      The Bradford Hotel in the distance on the right at 7:18 has been used in Damon and Debbie (1987), Band of Gold (1995-1998), The Red Riding Trilogy (2009), and other similar TV dramas.
      The Great Victoria Hotel in the distance on the left at 7:18 has been used in The Syndicate (TV Series 2012-2021), other TV dramas I've forgotten although The Moorside (2017) was filmed around the back at the Bradford Crown Court, and random stuff like Hometown (2019-2022). St George's Hall next door has appeared in various random things, all of which I've forgotten other than People's Palaces: The Golden Age of Civic Architecture (2010) which mainly focused on the architecture in the massively overrated cities of Liverpool and Manchester.
      Tyrell Street at 7:32 was used in No Angels (2004-2006) and/or The Syndicate (TV Series 2012-2021). The FA Cup which was used from 1911 to 2014 (when an identical replica replaced it) was made by Fattorini & Sons of Bradford, who were based off camera directly to your left until 2012.
