I love time-lapse footage, and this is great! When I was at Grattan we were sent to the Westbrook buildings in 2006 for a series of boring management courses, so there is a slight satisfaction at seeing them being torn down 😂
Remember being based in Westbrook and the Old building in 1980/ 81 for what were my GCE 'O' and 'A' levels. Mostly happy memories mixed in with some less happy ones.. Thanks to the help of some good lecturers passed my exams.. I left Bradford many years ago so any chance you could follow this up with what is there now? Many thanks for uploading this video which brought back memories..👍
My uncle Donald Child worked in the old building I think around that time, in the electronics dept. During his time at the College he was a lecturer, teacher and he often talked to me about all the students work he brought home to assess and mark etc. He also was part of helping industry with design solutions, also travelling around the world to places like Egypt to help set up new laboratories there, and in his later years prior to retirement in 2002/3, he worked opposite the main college buildings on Thornton Road at the Electronics Yorkshire training building; there was a car dealership directly opposite this.
Both my grandma and my great aunt were cleaners here in the 80s we got a free pass to the Yorkshire show every year not sure the connection their but know it had some connections to the college
I have no particular memories of the building myself .. my dear departed sister Carole Mclean did pass her NVQ in catering there in the late 70s .. Its sad to see the building go though .. its part of Bradfords history 😢

@EgoShredder I appreciate sharing your memories and connecting with us .Thanks 🙏
I went to the West Brook bit. Sad.

Very sad. I attended Bradford College in the early 90s and Westbrook Building was our main area for study. Such a shame it came to this 😢
I also have fond memories.
Thanks for commenting 🙂
It was where I registered when I came to art college in1974.
Thank you
Why was it demolished 😢
The decision to demolish the building was made because it was considered to be outdated and no longer fit for purpose.
They don't half like knocking stuff down in Bradford.
😆
I studying there in 2000
Thank you
