  • Tong village is on the outskirts of Bradford district, miles from the city centre.
  • It is largely rural, with rolling fields surrounding quaint areas of early Victorian industrialisation architecture. Tong is also home to two housing estates and the Euroway Trading Estate.
  • Tong Hall (pictured) was built in 1702, adjacent to St James' Church - a Norman building rumoured to be one of the first places of worship in Bradford.
  • In the 1960s, the Boundary Commission advised Tong to join Pudsey Council, but the community decided to stay with Bradford.
