About the Ward:

  • Joined Bradford at its incorporation in 1847, but traditionally a very separate area.
  • One of the smallest wards geographically, but it maintains a diverse blend of industry and commerce, housing and open land nevertheless.
  • Two churches, the Methodist and St John the Evangelist, pierce the skyline, with cottages beneath dating back to the 19th Century.
  • Former Black Mountain quarry, woollen, tile and brick site now preserved as a village green until 2999.
  • Birthplace of composer Frederick Delius, former MP Bob Cryer, and Look North presenter Harry Gration.
