Amazing job. Well done to all 👍

Water often does appear in hauntings. People have been splashed with water from an unknown source in my house

I'm very impressed by this channel. Very well presented histories.The people involved seem passionate about local tales and legends. Five *

Excellent video as always I hope the people of Bradford appreciate you gentlemen for all your dedicated work kind regards from Somerset

I saw Gary glitter and his band here in the early 70s . Also saw Paul young in the late 80s

I remember going there in the 60s to watch the wrestling with my parents. Also had my smallpox jab there

I remember this well, we used to go to the vaults bar in the basement, great video 👍

It always seems like councils love wiping out all our historical buildings , for some reason they don't seem to like heritage

Another excellent video, thanks to all on your team.

excellent post

When I was a child, I remember a match seller/beggar who used to stand near that Alexander hotel, or maybe a building further up. He had a grey beard, but it looked ginger around his mouth. I thought as a kid he had a rusty mouth because he was often drunk.

What a shame this beautiful building was demolished , but they call this progress I call sacrilege

colin walker and Ray ramsay pulled that hotel down. there firm was called CDS demolition

Remember going in the vaults in the mid 70s (had a great juke box and then upstairs college in the early 80s

I was fortunate to go in the building a few years before demolition and it was in a very poor structural condition. The building wasn't solid stone, but very poor rendered brickwork with some stone facings, (which can be seen on the demolition photos and possibly why it was never listed) that had been altered so many times the structural stability was compromised which was evident throughout the building. There were also concerns the foundations were inadequate for the slope the building was built on.

I didn't move to Bradford until 1996 - so don't remember the hotel - but I do remember the carpark before the college built the ATC. Very interesting!

Why did they have to make it so high

I hope they are keeping them there and not removing them

Fantastic video...

I remember the big old hotel building when I was at Bradford college in 1970s.

When the council buy something you no it's doomed it's an excuse to demolish beautiful buildings so sad and it's still going on now

Another cracking video lads. Keep up the great work. You're a credit to the City.

I'd forgotten about the filling in of the tunnel I live at Ogden and remember following wagons up Thornton road on my way home from work.

Very good watch, a shame the building fell into disrepair but wonderful to learn my university had such a wonderful hotel near it for so long.

Would you do piece on the swan arcade

Thank you ..

I only ever remember it as the Beer Cellar.

The hotel opened in 1878 but what was it before it a was a hotel?

Great video again

Hi gents, thanks for taking the time to make this film. I remember the building clearly from the 1980's and marvelling over its architecture. Please keep up your great work, it is really appreciated.

I spent a lot of the 70s in the Vaults Bar and the Alex Bar, great to see this.

My great grandfather William Samuel Rabone was the general manager at the empire theatre before and during the second world war years.I still have his ID card from the day he was there..I worked on the roof in 1981,bradford roofing contractors reslated the building in the late 80's and it was demolished in the early 90's..what a waste...excellant video gents as always....

The Olympus! I seem to remember Seabrook's Crisps round about there as well?

Great stuff. Thanks for this.

Yet another piece of Bradford history that had been refused to be saved, just the frontage would be enough! great video guys.

Drank in the Vaults bar in the seventies. This brings back many memories.

History and the amazing background of these structures are being.....erased

Nice upload shame a beautiful building I live in sheffield and we are losing all our old buildings over 100 years the old Court house near lady's bridge is heading the same way as this hotel...

So very sad. Never forget. 🙏🏼

I do like listening to your voice. All my family from Saltaire and Shipley, Wrose and Bradford are dead. I really miss their voices. The history is so interesting. 👍

Please don't forget to 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 to help this channel. Thank you

I had to watch this being a Berry. Related or not I simply had to

I loved the trolley buses. I'm sure it was the 1960s when dad took us from Saltaire up to Shipley. Is the tram going up to Shipley Glen still there?

How beautiful. 👍

Well done guys .. good job

I used to work there

Bradford was a bit different back then, right?

1960 wasn't that long ago ??

I live where we still have the same streets lol here n there

the square stones are actually called SETTS! Cobbles are actually big round pebbles as found in rivers and seashores!
