Bradford-city-hall
=======================================
Before its relocation, between 1847 and 1873, the town hall had been the Fire Station House in Swain Street. In 1869, a new triangular site was purchased, and a competition held for a design to rival the town halls of Leeds and Halifax. The local firm Lockwood and Mawson was chosen over the other 31 entries. It was built and took three years to build at a cost of hundred thousand pounds. It was opened by Matthew Thompson, the mayor, on 9 September 1873.

The Wool Exchange is a grade I listed building and was built as a wool-trading centre in the 19th century. The grandeur of its gothic architecture is symbolic of the wealth and importance that wool brought to Bradford. There was a competition to design the building, won by local architects Lockwood and Mawson (who also designed City Hall).The building is full of interesting features, including statues and busts of explorers, pioneers, one king, one saint and several free-trade evangelists. Some of its windows have a Star of David motif, probably because some of its key investors were members of Bradford German-Jewish community, who contributed much to Bradford booming wool trade. The Wool Exchange now houses a branch of Waterstones and is considered by many to be the most aesthetically pleasing bookshop in the UK!

East Riddlesden Hall
======================================
======================================
East Riddlesden Hall, Owned by the National Trust, East Riddlesden Hall is a Grade I listed manor house near Keighley. The hall was built in 1642 by a wealthy Halifax cloth merchant, James Murgatroyd. However, a manor has existed on this site since the 7th century. A medieval hall was built in the early 1300s by descendants of the Norman de Montalt family, where the now-ruined Starkie wing stands.The house was extensively altered after its purchase by James Murgatroyd. He bought the manor and 2000 acre estate of Riddlesden from the Risehworth family in 1638 for approximately 600.thousand pounds. The south end was remodeled to create the current two-storey block, and changes were made to the original medieval hall. The Great Hall was built as a temporary weatherproof structure to link the new Murgatroyd block with the original medieval hall during the rebuilding programme. East Riddlesden Hall is now a popular destination for day-trippers and hosts weddings and events
=====================================
Harewood House built between 1759-1771
=====================================
=====================================
Harewood House was built, in 1759 and 1771 for Edwin Lascelles,1st Baron, designed by by York architect John Carr and illustrious interior designer Robert Adam. The surrounding landscape was designed by Lancelot, Capability ,Brown and spans 1,000 acres, featuring a serene lake, an impressive bird garden, and a small animal farm. In 1758, Robert Adam gained membership to the Royal Society of Arts and declared that he had brought about a revolution in taste. Having studied the Italian and French artists, as well as becoming acquainted with Italian methods and workmen, Adam brought a fresh approach to domestic architecture and decoration in England. Movement and pleasing proportions were key to his designs, and are perhaps why the Georgian style remains so popular to this day. The commission of Harewood house was significant, both given its size and also since it was the beginning of Adamis collaboration with renowned cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale. And whilst the exterior of Harewood House is no less than a perfect example of neoclassical Georgian design, it is really in the intricately crafted interior that Harewood is set apart. The Long Gallery, for example boasts the most remarkable carved timber curtain swags, created to simulate festoons of taffeta and elaborate tassels, whilst avoiding the impracticality of real fabric and the inevitable dust mites. Still home to the Lascelles family, Harewood House is a Grade I listed building, with a number of features in the grounds and courtyard listed as Grade I,and II. The house is open to the public, with its grounds offering plenty of family attractions. (Also the home of the specially built Emmerdale village set.(the estate has been used for the filming of various television shows and films including Downton Abbey),and(Gentleman Jack and Victoria.)

=====================================
Heptonstall's old St Thomas Beckett Church which dates back to around 1260 It feels welcoming and you don't hear villagers moaning of gentrification because Heptonstall is, at least on the surface, the best of both worlds.While the village has more than its share of incomers or 'incumdens' as locals call them there are families that have lived in this little place for centuries.Former council worker Marguerite Eccles has lived in Heptonstall most of her life.She's lived in Hebden Bridge too but found herself staring back up the hill.Marguerite, 69, says: "It's a brilliant place to live and be."There's an awful lot of heritage and history and yet it's a living, breathing village.

Many of the children employed were 'half-timers' who worked at the mill for half a day and spent the other half at school. Onlookers men paid to work with women earned up to 22 shillings a week, while women working in the weaving shed received up to 10 shillings.

Midland Hotel
=======================================
This splendid hotel was opened in 1890 by the Midland Railway Company. It was part of the 'Forster Square' Train Station which the company had taken over and rebuilt in the 1860s. It aimed to be the biggest and best hotel for the rich and famous visiting Bradford. Laurel and Hardy, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones all stayed there.

The Bradford Hotel
=======================================
With all major centre of commerce, there was a need for transient accommodations. Along Halling's was the bradford hotel
=======================================
The Bradford Hotel as it was in the beginning
=======================================
The Bradford Hotel (Hilton) Hotel which is also known in the past as the Hilton Bradford Hotel. Designed by William Walker and Partners, it was completed in 1972. Contrary to other local edifices, it has not been faced with Bradford stone, but with stone concrete blocks. It might be said that the quality of the material matches the quality of the architecture.The hotel it seven floors offering space for conferences and banquet affairs for up to seven hundred guests. Some of its key attractions are the Britisserie Restaurant and Bar and the City Restaurant on the ground floor, to the left of the main reception. The hotel boasts fourteen meeting rooms, one hundred and twenty contemporary guest rooms with all the facilities required, including internet, satellite TV reception and telephone services included. On-site parking is not specifically necessary, as there is the multi story (National Car Park) immediately adjacent to the hotel. It was built sometime in the 1960s, and is a six story concrete structure, with headroom of only six foot, six inches! In its early days, many vehicles were too high to enter, and yet the height was dropped. It can hold over one hundred cars, and apparently has a checkered past people have fallen or jumped from the top floor during its last forty plus years. (The car park is now being pulled down most of the outer parts have been removed)

Westfield Shopping Centre
=======================================
Just after the millennium, the local paper, The Telegraph and Argus, ran a piece on the development of a new shopping Centre to be built in the Foster Square area, to have 75 units, at a cost of 275 Million. The area was to be from the end of Market Street, across from, the Telegraph and Argus The start of where Leeds Road begins, and Foster Square to be over 750 square feet, this would mean shops, the C AND A, British Home Stores, and many more would have to vacate for two years. In 2002 after all the premise's had been vacated, work began on the demolition of the area to be Westfield. Later in 2002 work began on the site, soon after starting the machines and workers where to leave, and the area to be fenced off. A few years later work began again on the underground section, then as before the site was closed again.At this time the area was to be known to all, as the "Hole in the ground", and for years till February 2010, it would just be a eye soar.Then plans where put forward for the area across from The Telegraph AND Argus, and the end of Market Street would be made in a temporary Community Urban Park. Work started in April 2010, partly funded by governmental incorporating footpaths, seating, grasses areas, and urban allotments So people could sit on the seats or lay on the grass in warm weather or, just take a walk from Halling 's to the other exit at the end of Market Street. On the twenty eight of August 2010 the English De fence League chose Bradford for one of their marches, the march didn't happen as the police used the Halling' s side of the park to keep them in one place, at the end of the day with a few arrests the English, De fence League. was walked back to the Interchange to the Railway Station controlled by the police.In 2012 the group known as, Occupy came to the same part of the Urban Garden, and stayed for over twenty five days till they eventually left Bradford to occupy somewhere else. Near the end of 2013 the local paper again ran a story that in January 2014 the work would start again on Westfield to be completed in August 2015.Needless to say we had heard this now for 10 years, then in 2014 the site came to life, the machines, men and steel was arriving on the site. This time there would be only 70 units ,with 750,000 square feet, with five levels of car parking for 1300 cars. New public spaces, restaurants The cost now 300 million. Access points will be, Peter gate Mall, Charles street Mall, East Brook Mall, and in the Centre Market Square. Had in 2012 announced investment to forward- purchase the development, with Westfield committed to design ,construct ,lease and manage the Centre on completion.
