- Join me for a walk around Bradford, West Yorkshire, one of the largest cities in the United Kingdom. Having grown from a small market town just two hundred years ago into an industrial powerhouse by the late 19th century, Bradford is a fascinating, vibrant and diverse city with so much to see!
On our walk, we pass a number of interesting sights, including Bradford City Hall, Centenary Square, the Bradford Odeon, the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford Media Museum, Bradford City Fire memorial, The Old Bank, The Wool Exchange, The City Vaults, Kirkgate Shopping Centre, St. George's Hall, The Great Victoria Hotel, Bradford Crown Court, Frederick Delius Memorial, Foundation Stones, Little Germany and Bradford Cathedral.

Recently started working in Bradford having not visited it before. I really like it, mixed population, beautiful architecture and access to the country side. Top City!
Plenty to see especially the outer areas like Haworth but the clips here especially around little Germany are great you can see why they are filming movies/TV set in the 19th and early 20th century there 💯
How entertaining. Enjoyed IT, a lot. Bradford is one of Britain's most underrated yet greatest cities. THX
When did you last go to the town centre? It's now a huge dump, and that's coming from a born n bred lad!
@@mick998r According to previous generations of my family, the place has been a dump for more than 100 years.
@@EgoShredder Maybe not as long as that but definitely since the late 80's onwards in my view. A lot of beautiful buildings knocked down and fortunately for Bradford, some still standing. Like Hull, nothing will come of the City of Culture scheme.
@@mick998r It all depends where you draw your own line I guess, but my great grandparents decided to leave Bradford, for the same reasons we would do today, minus the multi culti aspect of course which they were fortunate to avoid.
There is a tendency for Bradfordians to talk the city down. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and has lovely parks.
look if you've lived here all you're life, it's allowed to talk shit about it
@@rhflop correct, i hate it, it was so wonderful many years ago.
Brilliant video! Born in Bradford and still live there, I love it. Waterstones in the Wool Exchange is an unbeatable bookshop.
Beautiful building
This is my home city although I now live in Liverpool. Bradford has some lovely buildings but it's a city that's suffered a lot in recent years, hence the many empty shops. Hopefully the City of Culture award will reverse its fortunes but I doubt it.
Amazing City
Bet you wouldn't walk through it at night , absolute cesspit
A most excellent tour. I lived there since 1970 and I took the city for granted. I am looking forward to visiting again with a new perspective. Thank you sir for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for showing some of the highlights and hidden treasures of Bradford! Anyone who has not visited definitely worth a trip especially the areas shown in this video like little Germany a lot of history and a wide variety of movies/TV have shot there recently too
I found Bradford one of the best towns in England.
I was born in Sheffield and moved to Australia with my parents when I was a teenager. Would love to visit Bradford. Great video.
Beautiful city with great potential for regeneration, particularly with the City of Culture
Thank you, Bradford is Amazing
I remember going on a Saturday morning to the odeon and going to the Alhambra especially at Christmas for the pantomime and saw jimmy clitheroe this brings back many good memories
Thanks for this wonderful video! I'll be looking for a property in the area later this month and this has really whetted my appetite for Bradford (one of the places is in Little Germany, which I was pleased to see). Jaw-dropping Victorian architecture and very clean and tidy.
Lot of information provided for such a beautiful area! Thanks for taking us along -
Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Wow. What an informative walking tour of my beloved home city. Thank you for shining a light on its colourful history. Maybe the bradford towns in the US can use this video to show the history of their parent city.
Thanks for sharing this video,amazing buildings .I bet the Odeon will look stunning when it is finished.
The composer Frederick Delius who's mentioned in this walking tour was also mentioned in an episode of the Victoria Wood sitcom Dinnerladies. In the episode Jean (Anne Reid) is reading the TV listings in a magazine when Twinkle (Maxine Peake) asks her what's on TV than afternoon and Jean reads that a documentary about Frederick Delius exploring the fact he contracted syphilis but unfortunately she either misread across two separate listings or misread his name and therefore Dolly (Thelma Barlow) jumped to the conclusion that Delia Smith had caught syphilis LOL!
Thanks 👍 for the video 😊.... Lovely buildings....Not much else hehehe 😜.....Some beautiful architectural land-marks....
Great video - as always! :)
Wow. Last year a gentleman posted a couple videos of Bradford history and architecture on "In and Around Yorkshire". Thank you so much for this. Bless you for this.
My hometown. Thank you 😊
Hi could you help me to find a student accommodation in bradford
I used to live in Bradford back in 2005. And I miss it so much.. Hoping to be back soon
It's been very interesting,the theme in which you spoke was beautiful
Love Bradford
its so weird seeing this as someone who goes to uni in bradford, this is a great tour
Good
I live in a Victorian cottage in Bradford I study science and medicine
ive lived here all my life and never once knew on the town hall had carvings of previous monarchs on it.
Amazing city
i've been in that city hall
Not surprised you didn't show the slums just out of the city centre.
do an mc go on
@@jasonbored8319 Eh?.
Agree. Better than the neighbor sheffield.
Bradford Cathedral was built in 1400 according to online info, and it says Christianity was practiced on the site since the 8th Century.
my city Bradford born & Bred !! many problems but it's no worse than any big city
Unfortunately today Pakistani and Bangladesh people mess a lot in this beautiful town, throwing trash outside
They've done what they did in their own countries.....turn the place into a filthy crime riddled ghetto. Also rather than quietly integrate, they have set up 'victory mosques' around the city.
Ah yes and the all white areas are lovely and clean. Oh wait they're not. Stop with the pathetic racism
@@elijade99 why it’s racism when you say true?? To be clean-it’s from Islam. الطهور شطر الإيمان it’s a famous hadis! Just don’t mess , keep clean everything outside, it’s not hard
@@jacobersno6955 I obviously agree with not littering but it's not down to just the "non white" people of Bradford. Most people of all colours are equally guilty of that. Source for that, I'm literally from Bradford and I've lived in multiple areas, white ones and not white ones
@@elijade99 Plenty of White chav areas for sure, but two wrongs do not make a right. So stop with the faux concern for other races.
The great Victoria hotel has seen better days. I stayed there recently and i've seen prison cells that are nicer than their hotel rooms
And now it's nothing but a shadow of its former glory of industrial might. it's just a run down sad place with more and more of it's once beautiful buildings being knocked or burnt down, sad looking empty shops litter the once bustling streets, trade and growth is none existent. It's nothing but an extremely drab and depressing place to be now
I beg to differ. It has lost a lot of its victorian buildings it still is a victorian city with Little Germany and many other buildings left. With an economy of over 9 Billion pounds it is important part of the the UK economy. Pls do not knock the city down.
@@bradsalubby yeh and how many of them few remaining buildings are now overshadowed by big ugly concrete monstrosities. And define "economy" baring in mind we have hardly anything. Bradford hasn't been an important part of the uk since the wool trade. Now it's famous for curries and being ethnically diverse that's not exactly screaming we're a booming hub of trade is it 😂 Bradford is a miserable shit hole and has been for the 32 years I've lived here. You can try convince yourself otherwise all you want, but the reality is us bradford folk came to terms with that fact a long time ago, it's a shit hole, but it's our shithole, and let's be honest it could always be worse, we could be Birmingham 🤢
@@bradsalubby There's nothing in Little Germany. Just faceless companies. It is wasted in Bradford. I am sure it will eventually be taken over by Pakistani takeaways and saree shops though, like the rest of the city.
It's beautiful with heaps of potential .however those 70s buildings are like that decade ...absolutely foul.
Double points for spotting an Englishman.
I think I saw one,.
@@user-itschad1954 are you sure? 😁
70% of Bradford’s population is English.
@@philseekins8942 They all shop in Leeds.
@@mick998r I was in Bradford city centre the weekend just gone…. First time in months I must admit.
Its a shithole, lived here over 40 years and the only time i go into the town center is to drive through it, this video makes it seem far more appealing than it actually is
you have gay
I guess he’s highlighting positive aspects of the places he’s visiting,which doesn’t hurt.Yes Bradford is mainly a 💩hole,but as he’s pointing out it’s historic,some wonderful buildings,and an important media museum
it’s not bradford it’s bradistan
Why is it so devoid of colour? Everything looks so brown and sparse.
Because you are used to poorer Victorian cities that built everything out of red brick. Bradford had wealth to use real stone for every building.
Grooming gang central.
Far more chance of being groomed by a white person. But don't let the facts get in the way of your racist views.
@@oliverhayhurst1708 I didn't even mention race, and somehow you know exactly what's going on in Bradford. Interesting. We call that a self-own, Abdul.
true.
a lot of dog grooming areas in there.
got my spaniel groomed other day
she looks beautiful
only cost 35 quid.
@@jasonbored8319 And we know what you mean by "dog grooming", don't we?
@@Outlier777
Do you know what a dog is? Are you confused?
I remember when Bradfordistan used to be a British city.
It still is you racist pleb
I lived in Bradford for awhile, nice but the "foreign" element has ruined it. They drive like lunatics and have very little respect if any at all.
Why would they though? They are not of Bradford's blood and soil, and have no spiritual or cultural connection for Bradford. It's 100% understandable but the question is.....why are they still here decades later? If they came for work that should have been arranged on a short term limited stay basis. They should never have been allowed to purchase homes, set up businesses and slowly take over the place. Both Bradford Council and the Government have sacrificed the place for profit and to hell with the native Yorkshire English people.
The problem with your comment is the word "foreign" the vast majority of the "foreign" people you talk about are born here or have legal citizenship. So who do mean exactly?
@@oliverhayhurst1708 he meant non white people...
@@oliverhayhurst1708 I'm talking Natural Law rather than the manmade artificial one of Cultural or Legal etc.
i've lived in a few cities including bradford - bradford is by far the most anti-social place ive lived in. litter is normal, fireworks going off at 3am is normal (i mean the really loud fireworks that sound like explosions), cars revving engines at any time and driving like normal roads are a race track and the smell of weed everywhere. but its wrong to say it just 'foreigners'.
dump
no British there its all forginers
Not many British and even fewer English.
AND WHATS YOUR PROBLEM?
@@mohammedmufc1 Immigration is a symptom of a much greater problem that pushes it on our nations, which I can not name here because RUclips deletes my comment instantly every single time. The last three words of my sentence are a big clue as to whom I am referring to, as its an infamous phrase they have come to be known by.
