Really brings a tear to the eye. As a Bradfordian I feel robbed every time I step foot into the center.
Thats the reason I shop online. I just can't bear the thought of walking in the town centre

Bradford was once a beautiful city! Thank you for your excellent work. 🙏
What happened to it?
@@mick998r what kind of nationalities?
@@mick998r I was born in the 70s but childhood was mainly in the 80s. There were basically 3 ethnicities; Black, White, and Asian, and generally we all got on together pretty well. In the late 90s, we had more coming in from Eastern Europe and beyond. That's when things started going downhill.
And yes, Bradford Council has a lot to answer for. As you say, they demolished great buildings just so they could get more cash in the long run. That's turned out to be an abysmal failure; something I'm sure people were saying before the destruction of the city centre.
Bradford still is its a city in UK that I feel is best in Yorkshire yes it may not be not good as you remember it be that be the past it may not be may be for future if we we make in present
@@WillScarlet1991 Sorry you are completely wrong. Europeans did not destroy Bradford. They are European, they share our culture and heritage. The levels of immigration from south Asia, Africa and the middle east is what has destroyed this city. As a native to Bradford I feel alienated walking around Bradford centre. The council are making this an Asian focuses city at the detriment to culture and the English that live here. More white flight will come and Bradford will never recover.
Lovely city full of lovely people and culture 🧡🤍❤️💚 best city up north love from Devon
This is how you bring history alive..well done..
The history of this city is so interesting to me. I wish I could step back in time to admire the amazing architecture. Amazing video. Beautifully put together, thank you.
Excellent video. Unique editing.
My hometown ❤️
Well after watching this, one thing I'm absolutely certain about is this, things don't always improve over time, a once magnificent city, is now unrecognisable, in more ways than one.
This is a great video makes me so sad. I'm 40 and from Bradford, but had no idea it was once such a beautiful town. What went wrong!
if you're from here, you KNOW what went wrong..

I was born in Bradford in the mid '60's. Did most of my growing up in the '70's and early '80's. It was a fabulous city to grow up in, in that era. Have you noticed that the population was relatively stable up to 1963 and now it has almost doubled. I went to school with a real mixed bag of ethnic origins. We had no problems......because their parents arrived when immigration was controlled. When you get uncontrolled immigration, you get problems. Anyhow, I gradually eased myself away and now live in a different county. The last time I was in Bradford (approx 2014), the roads were like death race 2000 and crime is off the clock. The police, the politicians and the council all need to take a long hard look at themselves. They all looked the other way while bad things happened.........of course, all in the name of racial harmony! It would take something very important to get me back there to visit. I could weep for the once proud city of my birth. Good bye Bradford.....thanks for the (mostly) great memories.
Genuinely chocked me up them words,I feel exactly the same and now live just outside Bradford but sadly not an area I'm happy with it's just like Bradford 😢
Fantastic!
Fabulous!!!
Nice to watch was that ❤
! Westbrook Terrace is my birthplace !
Good visual effects, but very sad of how things have changed over time. I left 8 years ago at the age of 60 saddened by the loss and changes of everything our forefathers left behind now gone forever... So sad.
Great video very upsetting seeing that ugly court house instead of that fabulous train station in Bradford.knock that court house down for me
Thanks a bunch to past and present government's
This would be great if you had put
the old images before the new.
Thank you to the Time Travel artist for this.
fantastic video but as a bradfordian makes me sad and angry what the powers that be did to this once great city.
Now it's full with curry
don't forget the heroin, rape gangs and Islamic terrorists
On line shopping has a lot to blame for the decline in city centres in general. A lot of the offices have moved too so their isn’t the people working anymore. The local council needs to encourage businesses to move back in wealthier it be shops or offices, with big rate reductions. Am sick of phone shops and pound shops down every street. And the lack of parking is an issue but that won’t be a problem because no one want to shop there anyway.
can't blame online shopping Leeds retail is booming people don't like going into Bradford anymore so they go to Leeds when i was in highschool I used to take an hour bus journey to Leeds rather than go into Bradford no one I knew wanted to go there
Why don't they show the terrace houses when women scrubbed their door steps?
I was brought up in Allerton.1966.i walked around chellow dean and then went to grape Street and I could have cried.
It had some great buildings and the corrupt councillors destroyed them and replaced with brutalism builds.
Thankfully common sense saved the Odeon.
👍
they couldve done nothing and just left it as it was in 1940 and people would visit it more than they do today
Boris Johnson... what an embarrassment
