An in-person guided walk around the Manningham area of Bradford.
This free in-person guided walk, with a guide in costume, will include fascinating buildings and people from the past and present, plus some future plans. Whether you are a current or former resident of the area or an interested Bradfordian, a visitor or a student, you are very welcome to join in.
Accessibility details:
The route is on public pavements with some public road crossings. The first third of the walk is slightly downhill, the middle third is about level and the final third is slightly uphill. The start is from just outside the Manningham Mills main entrance on the corner with adjacent Patent St. No toilets or café – sorry (the Mills community centre closed some years ago due to financial cuts). There are public toilets just over halfway through the walk inside the Manningham public library which the walk goes past (that library is normally open 12-4pm Sundays).
Additional information:
The walk, in easy stages, lasts around 1 and three-quarter hours on public pavements. Free car parking immediately adjacent to Manningham Mills in Patent Street off of Lilycroft Road/Oak Lane. Directions to the start by public transport: the 621 bus from Bradford City Centre (half hourly on Sundays, heading in the Haworth Road direction) takes around 15 mins. Ask for Manningham Mills and get off at the 5/6 storey building. Nearest train station is Frizinghall and from there it requires a lengthy uphill walk of a mile to the walk start.
