Bradford The City of Bradford has always been diverse and attracted people from other parts of the United Kingdom (UK) and across the globe. These people have not only come here to trade, or to find work, but often to find a place of safety; Bradford has long been a ‘City of Sanctuary’ for those in need. Bradford City Centre BD1 Bradford has lots of beautiful Victorian buildings. Many tell stories of the City’s past as a major manufacturer of woollen and worsted cloth, for example the Wool Exchange and Piece Hall Yard. Place names also provide clues as to where people came from to work and do business here. Can you guess where the people who worked in Little Germany or the woman who started Kala Sangam came from? Places of worship also provide a clue as to the religions that people brought with them, for example Bradford Cathedral, the Hindu Cultural Centre, the Guru Gobind Singh Gurdwara and the Central Mosque.
