About Bradford
There has never been a more exciting time to work in Bradford, and there has never been a greater need for people with talent and vision. Bradford has a population of at least 486,400 making it the fourth largest Metropolitan District in the country.
Bradford 'folk' are well known for their generosity and warmth and research has shown there is an 'accent' on friendliness in these parts that few can match. Bradford covers 143 square miles and 60% of the district is open green space, including the famous Ilkley Moor. You could also visit the birthplace of the Bronte’s and enjoy the rugged landscape of Haworth, which inspired their famous novels.
Although primarily an industrial city, Bradford offers a mix of entertainment, culture history and countryside. As well as the city’s wealth of bars, clubs and restaurants you can also catch the latest West End shows at the Alhambra Theatre or a top stage act at St George’s Concert Hall. One of Bradford’s fascinating attractions is the National Media Museum and the 3D IMAX Cinema, which are well worth the visit. As well as the David Hockney collection at Salt’s Mill, you could also take a trip to Cartwright Hall Art Gallery or the Worth Valley Railway featured in ‘The Railway Children’. Bradford can also offer homes to buy and rent at affordable prices.
