The first church on the site was built in Anglo-Saxon times and fell into ruin during the Norman Invasion in 1066. During the 14th century the church was rebuilt. Bradford Cathedral is one of the most historical buildings in Bradford.
Bradford City Hall
The Town Hall took three years to build and was opened on 9 September 1873 by the Mayor, Alderman Matthew Thompson. This original building was 70 feet high and 275 feet long, with a 217 foot tower.
By the end of the 19th Century, the Town Hall did not have adequate space, and a decision was taken to extend it. Two schemes followed. The first, opened in September 1909, provided a new council chamber, committee rooms and a banqueting hall. The second scheme, completed in 1914, included a redesigned entrance and grand staircase.
Bradford Wool Exchange
It was built between 1864 and 1867.
