  • Bradford Canal: Rebuilding a Lost Waterway
    AINA CASE STUDY PLACE MAKING AND SHAPING Bradford Canal: rebuilding a lost waterway Bold plans for city centre regeneration include linking a new canal to a major civic space The Bradford Canal was built as a five kilometre spur off the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, but closed in 1922 due to dwindling traffic and unreliable water supply. Today, little evidence remains of its former route. In 2003 a masterplan prepared for Bradford city centre focussed on the use of water as a catalyst for the city’s future regeneration, and a range of innovative proposals included the reintroduction of the canal. Since then a great deal of progress has been made to determine a practical and deliverable route for the new waterway, using a route which would minimise costs whilst maximising the regeneration potential within the canal corridor. A new canal would extend the national network, though the prime aim would be to encourage large scale improvement within some of the more deprived parts of Bradford. The canal would form the physical thread to link a series of development sites and make them more attractive to developers and investors through increased land and development values. Further development work has been undertaken to ensure connections with a series of water-based projects, including the new City Park, complete with lake, adjacent to City Hall. This project started on site in November 2009 and will be complete in summer 2011. It is believed to be the largest public realm regeneration project in Europe, and key to its success has been a detailed analysis of the hydrology and flood risk issues which will ensure practical connectivity of water supply between the park and the future canal.

  • Saltaire Bingley and Nab Wood
    SALTAIRE, BINGLEY & NAB WOOD A 5.5 mile easy going walk, mainly at the side of the Leeds/Liverpool Canal and the River Aire with a pleasant halfway stop in Myrtle Park, Bingley, with no stiles and just one short hill through Nab Wood. At the end of the walk, do allow time to explore Salts Mill (see below). Start point: Saltaire Station, Victoria Road, Saltaire (trains every 30 minutes from Leeds). SALTAIRE is the name of a Victorian era model village. In December 2001, Saltaire was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This means that the government has a duty to protect the site. The buildings belonging to the model village are individually listed, with the highest level of protection being given to the Congregational Church (since 1972 known as the United Reformed Church) which is listed grade I. The village has survived remarkably complete. Saltaire was founded in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname with the name of the river. Salt moved his entire business (five separate mills) from Bradford to this site near Shipley partly to provide better arrangements for his workers than could be had in Bradford and partly to site his large textile mill by a canal and a railway. Salt built neat stone houses for his workers (much better than the slums of Bradford), wash-houses with running water, bath-houses, a hospital, as well as an Institute for recreation and education, with a library, a reading room, a concert hall, billiard room, science laboratory and gymnasium.

  • Bradford & District Rabbits Golf Association Www
    BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION WWW.BDRGA.NET B.D.R.G.A. HANDBOOK 2019 BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION The following is an extract from the MINUTES of the inaugural Meeting of the new ASSOCIATION, which was referred to as THE BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION dated 9th April 1948. “Invitations to attend this Meeting had been sent out by a small Committee of the Bradford Moor Golf Club, and the response was very encouraging. There was an attendance of 28 and eleven Clubs were represented as follows:- South Bradford, Bradford Moor, Otley, Cleckheaton, West Bowling, Woodhall Hills, Queensbury, Thornton, East Bierley, West Bradford and Phoenix Park. The Chair was taken by Sam Chippendale Esq. of Bradford Moor Golf Club and he extended a hearty welcome to all the visitors”. There followed a discussion: “Mr Chippendale was asked whether the Association would have the support of the West Riding Rabbits Golf Association as it was felt that such support and approval would be necessary if both Associations were to prosper. The Chairman said that he had the goodwill of the West Riding Rabbits but assured those present that our Association would be a separate entity from that body and would only be affiliated to it. Thereupon a proposal was made by the Cleckheaton Representative, and seconded by the South Bradford Representative that “The Bradford & District Rabbits Golf Association” be, and is hereby formed, and this was carried without opposition. It was agreed by Members of the Association that an ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Association would be held at a suitable venue on April 30th 1948.” THE BRADFORD & DISTRICT RABBITS GOLF ASSOCIATION CONSTITUTION AND RULES The name of the Association shall be “The Bradford & District Rabbits Golf Association“, affiliated to the Yorkshire Rabbit Golf Association.
