More about BradfordBradford is the major
settlement in the City of Bradford Metropolitan District
of the Metropolitan county of West Yorkshire, England.
A historic Yorkshire city, Bradford became a municipal
borough of the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1847, and
received its charter as a city in 1897. The city status
was transferred to the metropolitan district when it was
formed in 1974. It has a population of 293,717 with the
district as a whole having 485,000 inhabitants. By urban
sub-area, it is the 11th largest settlement in England.
Bradford has long been a centre of the West Riding wool
industry. Bradford was one of the many English towns
which became prosperous during the Industrial
Revolution. Bradford's textile industry dates back as
far as the thirteenth century, but it was not until the
nineteenth century that it became world-famous. Wool was
imported in vast quantities for the worsted cloth in
which Bradford specialised. Other fibres were also
processed, e.g., alpaca. Yorkshire boasted plentiful
supplies of iron ore, coal and soft water which were
used in cleaning raw wool, and a huge coal seam provided
the power that the industry needed. Sandstone,
Bradford's local stone, was an excellent resource for
the building of the mills, and the large population of
West Yorkshire meant there was a readily available
workforce.
A culture of innovation was fundamental to Bradford's
dominance in the 19th and 20th centuries. New textile
technologies were invented in the city. A prime example
being the work of Samuel Lister. This innovation culture
continues today throughout Bradford's economy: from
automotive Kahn Design to electronics Pace Micro
Technology.
To support the textile mills, a large manufacturing base
grew up in the city, providing textile machinery, and
this led to diversification with different industries
thriving side-by-side. For example Bradford's proud
manufacturing history includes the Jowett motor company,
which had many great achievements during its fifty year
existence. The textile industry started to decline in
the 1920s, and Bradford has been cited as an example of
deindustrialization. However, today a spirit of rebirth
has taken hold and Bradford is one of the north's
important cities, with modern technology, chemicals,
engineering, academic and financial sectors replacing
the "dark satanic mills" image of the industrial
revolution.
Bradford was one of the contenders for 2008 European
Capital Of Culture. Although in the end it lost out to
Liverpool, the bid created confidence in the city and
has led to new initiatives. In 2004, the Bradford Urban
Regeneration Company commissioned architect Will Alsop
to create a vision for the City's future and the role of
a "City Centre" in the 21st century. The audacious (yet
controversial) Alsop plan envisions four regenerated
quarters within the heart of the city — The Bowl, The
Channel, The Market & The Valley — each creating new
public spaces for commerce, education, leisure and
showcasing Bradford's setting within the Pennine
mountains.
The University of Bradford has around 10,000 students.
It received its Royal Charter in 1966, but traces its
history back to the 1860s. It has always been a
technical and technological institution, and has no true
arts faculties; but it still covers a wide range of
subjects including technology & management science,
optometry, pharmacy, medical sciences, nursing studies,
archaeology, and modern languages. Its peace studies
department, founded with Quaker support in 1973, was for
long the only such institution in the UK.
University of Bradford School of Management located near
Lister Park, is currently rated the 65th best business
school in the world.
Bradford College has around 24,000 students. It
developed from the nineteenth-century technical college
whose buildings it has inherited. It now offers a wide
range of Further and Higher Education courses, and is an
Associate College of Leeds Metropolitan University. It
has absorbed the Art School whose most famous alumnus is
David Hockney.
Bradford Grammar School, in Frizinghall, dates back to
1548: it has been co-educational since 1999. The Girls'
Grammar School, Bradford is a quite separate
establishment dating from 1875: it continues to take
only girls except for its infants' department. Woodhouse
Grove School is another major private education
establishment, located in the Aire valley at Apperley
Bridge.
Bradford has a long and proud history in sport,
especially Rugby League, Soccer and Cricket.
Bradford Bulls are one of the most successful rugby
league clubs in the world. Currently (2006) World Club
Champions and 7 times winners of the Rugby League
Championship. The home of the Bulls is Grattan Stadium,
Odsal in the south of the city.
Football has a rich heritage in Bradford. Bradford City
and Bradford (Park Avenue) are passionately supported.
On May 11, 1985, 56 people were killed at a fire at
Valley Parade, home of Bradford City. Centenary Square
now contains a monument to the Bradford City disaster.
The fire led to new legislation to increase safety in
all the UK's football grounds.
The Richard Dunn Sports Centre is just across the road
from Grattan Stadium, Odsal, home of the Bulls. The
sports facilities at the University are also open to the
public at certain times.
