History is important to Bradford! It was as a result of the Industrial Revolution and the textile industry that Bradford grew in stature. As a visitor to the town, you are reminded of Bradford’s heritage at many a turn. There is Saltaire, the model village showing us how the busy Victorian industrial town operated. Next time you find yourself in Bradford looking for something interesting to do, hire a car in Leeds and drive over to Saltaire. You can’t miss it, just look out for the monstrous chimneys. The place is very impressive and is now preserved for all time as an UNESCO World Heritage site.
More history is on offer at various venues. The more popular haunts include the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television, Cartwright Hall Museum and Manningham Mills.
For relaxation the choices are numerous. If you are into the arts, there are a number of theatres in the town which are St George’s Hall, the Theatre in the Mill, The Priestley and the Alhambra. Take your pick! If the theatre is not for you, why not take off to the Peak National Park or enjoy piping hot fish and chips at one of the numerous seaside spots in the region. This suggestion comes very highly recommended!
