Hidden under Bradford’s bustling streets flows the Bradford Beck, an underground river rich in history and mystery. Follow a trail of 15 striking dark slate plaques marking its secret path, each one offering a poetic clue to the beck’s story.
Each plaque features two lines from a beautiful poem by Jane Callaghan, winner of a 2015 public poetry competition, along with an arrow pointing out the beck’s hidden course.
As you walk the trail, jot down the lines to piece together the full poem and uncover the lyrical story of Bradford’s buried waterway. It’s part scavenger hunt, part history walk, and part poetic adventure, perfect for curious minds and city explorers alike.
This underground tour calls for sturdy footwear and weather-ready clothing.
