Bradford, England
Curry Capital of Confused Postcodes
"Regenerating since roughly forever"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a half-demolished shopping centre rampant, flanked by two curry pots dripping onto a wool bale, beneath a banner reading 'Progress: Please Mind the Hoarding'. Crowning the shield, a pigeon perched atop the Wool Exchange, unbothered by the wind tunnel below.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Came for the National Science and Media Museum, stayed because I got lost in the one-way system around the Westfield hole (now finally filled, well done everyone). The curries genuinely live up to the hype, absolute 10/10, but the city centre after 8pm has the energy of a school on a snow day. Lovely people, mind, and the Alhambra Theatre is a proper gem hiding among some grim car parks."— Gary Fothergill, Wakefield
Property Listing
Stunning stone-built terrace in vibrant up-and-coming Bradford, mere minutes from the soon-to-be-completely-finished city centre regeneration! Enjoy characterful hills that double as free cardio, and unbeatable transport links to literally anywhere that isn't Bradford.
Twinned With
Detroit — Both cities peaked industrially, got left with beautiful old buildings and a regeneration plan that's been 'coming soon' for decades.
Supporting Evidence
Bradford was officially the first UNESCO City of Film in the world, thanks to its stunning Victorian architecture doubling as film sets long before anyone thought to actually visit for fun.
