BRADFORD CITY CENTRE

We visit BRADFORD near Leeds in West Yorkshire, England for a walking tour of Bradford City Centre. This walking tour takes us through Bradford from the railway station to the science and media museum, Alhambra Theatre and through the shopping streets to see what's here.

Bradford City Centre is a place Gimbal Walk TV hasn't filmed before so we were keen to explore the city streets here and see the places to see in Bradford. We had stayed in the Midland Hotel on Cheapside next to the Railway Station the night before and so our walking tour starts here right outside the hotel.

Our walk starts on Lower Kirkgate and we head round past The Broadway Shopping centre on Market Street to The Wool Exchange, a grade 1 listed building.

Opposite The Wool Exchange is Charles Street so we head through this fairly new development and onto Broadway which is busy with restaurants, takeaways, The Light Cinema and coffee shops. Quite nice!

From here we head down Broadway and cross Bridge Street to Bradford City Hall. The City Hall also houses the Bradford Police Museum and the Bradford and Keighley Register Office.

This brings us into Bradford's City Park and Centenary Square, a park with large fountains and the City Park Mirror Pool. Around Centenary Square are restaurants such as Nandos and The Turis Green a Wetherspoons pub. Also in Centenary Square is Bradford City Library and the Impressions Gallery.

From Centenary Park we cross Godwin Street to reach The Alhambra Theatre Bradford. This is a historic 1400 seat venue that hosts some great theatre and comedy shows and events.

Right next door to Alhambra Theatre is the Bradford War Memorial and Queen Victoria Statue in Victoria Square. From here we can see our next destination the fantastic National Science and Media Museum which is well worth a look if you visit Bradford. There's also an IMAX cinema here.

Next up we want to tour the shopping streets of Bradford City Centre to see what shops there are for people coming into the city. So we head right up Godwin Street and then turn left onto Sunbridge Road where I wanted to stop off at a Billy Liar Filming Location on the Southgate steps.

Billy Liar is a movie filmed here in Bradford and the Southgate Steps off Sunbridge Road is the location of Billy Liar's workplace at the funeral directors and we stop off to have a look at this instantly recognisable Billy Liar filming location that I've wanted to visit for a while now.

Heading back into the city we cross over and head down Kirkgate towards Kirkgate Shopping Centre and then down Ivegate which is a shopping street with pubs, shops and food places, until we reach Tyrrel Street.

Heading along Tyrrel Street we reach Bank Street and Hustlergate and then back onto Market Street towards the Midland Hotel.

This Bradford City Centre tour is our first visit but we will definitely be back for another walking tour of this West Yorkshire city.

Bradford is a northern city, situated between Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield. It has a football club (Bradford City) and rugby is also a popular sport here.
