Known for
Curry capital of the UK, the National Science and Media Museum, the UNESCO City of Film designation, Saltaire and a textile heritage that changed the world
A little history
The wool capital of the world in the 19th century. Bradford's industrial heritage — from Titus Salt's model village at Saltaire to the great textile mills — shaped modern capitalism. The city's South Asian community transformed its food and culture.
Manningham Lane for the genuine curry experience — not the tourist version. Saltaire for Victorian utopian architecture and David Hockney's birthplace. The National Science and Media Museum is free and excellent.
