Eccleshill is a predominantly residential area, stretching from Five Lane Ends in the west to the District boundary with Leeds in the east. As well as Eccleshill, this ward also contains the Thorpe Edge, Ravenscliffe and Fagley housing estates. Population The latest population estimates for mid-2019 show that 19,530 people live in Eccleshill ward. 26.5% of the population is aged under 16 Worth Valley has the lowest percentage of young people with 16.6% and Little Horton has the highest percentage with 32.7%. Page 1 of 4 60.1% of the ward’s population is aged between 16 and 64. Ilkley has the lowest percentage of the working age population with 54% and City has the highest percentage with 72.2% - this probably reflects the high numbers of students and young people living in the areas close to Bradford College and Bradford University. -
A Short History of Bradford College
A short history of Bradford College Genes from the past The past holds the secret to the genetic ingredients that have created the unique institution that is Bradford College today… Bradford could be said to succeed on its ability to utilise four resources: its Broad Ford beck and tributary streams of soft water, which contributed to the cottage industry of weaving within its natural valley; its largely poor people who from five years of age upwards were the backbone of its labour resources within that industry;its pioneers who led the country in welfare and educational reform; its “useful men” – with the capital to captain industry and the foresightedness to maximise on and develop the potential of canal, rail, steam and power machines that galvanised the industrial revolution. But there is much more to “Worstedopolis” as Bradford was known when it was the capital and centre of the world stage in the production of worsted textiles and the story of its College is not rooted in textile enterprise alone. Bradford had other resources from the outset– stone from its quarries and iron from its seams at Bowling and Low Moor, to the extent that the “Best Yorkshire” iron was in full use at Trafalgar, Waterloo and the Crimea. Bradford was ripe territory for engineers and inventors who automated the production of the woollen processes. Bradford has also made its name in areas that range from automobile production to artificial limb design. All of these strands are evident in the very earliest portfolio on offer – and many survive today. Once technical training emerged, it began – then as today - to deliver the skills that employers and markets require - but whilst Bradford buildings in their locally quarried golden stone rose around the slums, a world of financial “haves” and “have nots” poured into the town. -

Notes on Stanbury
D R A F T NOTES ON THE LORDSHIP AND MANOR OF STANBURY Pre-History Evidence of Mesolithic settlement on upland sites in the NW of West Yorkshire along the major watersheds; evidence from Stanbury Moor in the form of three geometric microliths. 1 Bronze Age Stone circle discovered near the site of Walshaw Dean reservoir (SD 967343) on Wadsworth Moor to the SW of Stanbury Moor. The circle, 11 metres in diameter, surrounded a smaller circle, also built of stones. A second circle (SD 96213155) surveyed by the Ordnance Survey in 1962 thought to be a hut circle rather than a ceremonial circle. 2 Numerous additional National Monuments are also situated within the boundaries of the Manor of Stanbury. Anglo-Saxon Place-name: Old English Stan Burh “Stone Fortification”. Editor notes (1961) that “no trace of the fortification remains”. 3 “It is extremely difficult to isolate specific Mercian place-names. Even those containing definite Mercian forms, such as the inflected bury, rather than the uninflected borough from the OE burh (e.g. Stanbury, Dewsbury) may not go back to the 7th century, but may simply be the result of Mercian elements in the local dialect. Moreover, even if a place bears a probable Mercian name, this cannot be taken to indicate that it was actually occupied by Mercians.. It is, therefore, impossible at present to isolate specific Mercian settlements, but the possibility of their existence must be borne in mind in the course of future archaeological work in the county, especially in Agbrigg and Morley wapentakes, where the strongest evidence for Mercian influence is to be found in the place-names.” 4 Manor of Bradford held by Gamel. -
Delivering an On-Line Information Literacy Programme to Staff at Bradford Public Libraries: POP-I - a Case Study
Delivering an On-line Information Literacy Programme to Staff at Bradford Public Libraries: POP-i - a Case Study Rónán O'Beirne, Assistant Director, Bradford College. Acknowledgement The author wishes to acknowledge the help and support received in compiling this case study from Debbi Boden of Imperial College London. Also in delivering the project the assistance of John Davies and Anne Brown was crucial – many thanks. Introduction This case study provides an outline of the Pop-i project, identifies its aims and objectives, its key audience and deliverables, and shares findings from a mainly qualitative research methodology. POP-i was a collaborative non-commercial venture between Imperial College London (ICL) and the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Library Service to develop an on-line learning programme for information literacy aimed at public libraries based on the instructional design principles created by ICL in their Information Literacy Internal Programme (iLIP). Some of the challenges expected were: developing relevant content for the public library sector; ensuring delivery was within an appropriate learning environment; gaining significant buy-in from a group of staff who are not familiar with e-learning. From a project management and professional development perspective there was, at the outset, a perceived benefit in the Higher Education (HE) sector working with colleagues from the Public Library (PL) sector and vice- versa. Using data gathered through a range of methods, including interviews and focus groups, this study provides an overview of the issues and challenges encountered at a strategic, tactical and operational level and outlines some of the solutions that were found. -

We all do The college has been trialling different ways of working with schools and other educational settings. One of our aims is to harness the skills and talents that are out there in schools but also to see if some of the knowledge and interests of staff can be shared with children and teachers. Maggie Power has been working with staff at Marshfield Primary School in Bradford, using her skills as a story teller to work with the children in year 5. She has linked up with her old student, Michael Spalton, who is now deputy head at the school, to plan a small project that will involve sharing stories. -
Wilsden and Harecroft Parish Plan Spring 2010
Wilsden and Harecroft Parish Plan Spring 2010 Wilsden Parish Council www.wilsdenparishcouncil.gov.uk Wilsden and Harecroft Wilsden is a former mill village lying to the west of Bradford and the south of Bingley and is a part of the Bingley Rural ward of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The population of the Wilsden Parish Council area, which covers the villages of Wilsden and Harecroft and the surrounding farms and houses, was 4,182 at the 2001 Census. The Parish Council area contained 1944 dwellings in January 2010 compared to the 1768 dwellings in 2001, representing a 10% increase.. Wilsden dates back to Saxon times, flourishing in the nineteenth century when the presence of coal, water and wool transformed an agricultural area into an industrial landscape based on textiles. With the decline of the textile industry Wilsden is now a pleasant dormitory village for people who work elsewhere. Fortunately, the shape of the valley, with a degree of vigilance, has ensured the survival of the character of this independent community, even after a second wave of growth. Wilsden Village Society was formed in 1970 and considered it had a responsibility to act as both a watchdog and to speak out strongly in the interests of the village and its residents. It also set out to provide a new focal point for community activities in the shape of the Village Hall, to revive former social activities and to encourage new ones. In 2004 Wilsden Parish Council was created to represent the interests of this distinct community within Bradford. Since then it has been active on a number of fronts to improve Wilsden as a place to work and live; a refurbished play area and revitalisation of the hanging basket scheme being two visible examples. -
Further Education Commissioner Assessment Summary-Bradford

The new Director of Finance and Corporate Services (DFCS), appointed 1 August 2017, realised that the financial outturn would not be in line with that submitted in the July 2017 financial plan. The DFCS informed the ESFA in October 2017 to say that they had uncovered some financial issues and the college was likely to run out of money in December 2017. The college’s revised high-level financial plan 2017 to 2019 shows financial health as ‘Inadequate’ in the current year. The college requested Exceptional Financial Support (EFS). As a result, the college was issued with a Notice To Improve (NTI) for financial health, dated 30 October 2017, and was referred to the FE Commissioner. The NTI requires the college to prepare a full financial recovery plan, ahead of a stocktake assessment in February 2018, in order to secure the financial position of the college. Background Bradford College Group is one of the biggest further education colleges in the country with over 20,000 students. It is also one of the largest institutions of higher education outside of the university sector. It is the largest institution providing 16 to 19 education and training within the Bradford local authority area. -
The Old Building, Great Horton Road, Bradford
Report of the Assistant Director (Planning, Transportation & Highways) to the meeting of Regulatory and Appeals Committee to be held on 15th April 2021. BG Subject: Change of use and conversion of D1 education use of former Old Building to form up to 190 no. C3 residential apartments including 24/7 concierge, media centre, cafe, games room, gymnasium and multi-purpose hall with landscaped communal courtyard, The Old Building, Great Horton Road, Bradford. Summary statement: This is a full planning application for change of use of the Old Building for up to190 flats with ancillary facilities. (The listed building application for the works, 20/01222/LBC, is also on this agenda). Bradford College has confirmed that the Old Building is no longer required, as part of its estate in the City Centre. The buildings have lain vacant for a number of years, other than being used as a Covid vaccination centre. The condition of the building is of concern, with roof leaks causing damage to the fabric of the building. The proposal would see the re-use of a key listed building within the City Centre, and the further delivery of housing in the City Centre. The application is recommended for approval subject to a Section 106 to provide contract parking at the NCP car park off Thornton Road.
