Bradford 1902

[@harjinderchaggar4513]

People here in this movie, filmed in Bradford have come out to witness movies being made they are absolutely amazed, little did they know that someone will be watching them120 years in the future long after they've died on a handheld electronic device half way around the world. This is the closest we're going to get to a time machine, absolutely awesome .

How did they create buildings of such magnificence like the cathedrals covered in ornamental sacred geometry and to such a precision? Why are there tunnels all across the UK and the world, even India, how were they made? I’ve seen the most beautiful ornate underground bathrooms and more and you have to question - with what tools, with what tech? I hazard a guess that our ancestry was much more advanced than our schools and society give them credit for. I believe our buildings of old especially the churches and mansions could possible harness energy from the ether and flowing water underneath these beautiful buildings using sound/frequency/vibration. Cathedral - cathode. I believe the way these buildings are designed is a form of technology we do not understand very well yet. Our tech today is only now advanced enough that we can somewhat repair and replicate such beauty.

It starts from cheapside and along manningham lane towards lister park.

[@keithnaylor1981]

Midland Hotel and/or Forster Square Railway station on right. I think the arched entrances lead to the trains. Through one of these was a slot machine where for a penny or two you could type a short message and it would be printed with indentations onto a metal strip. 1:05 turning right to go up Manor Row 1:18 in the entrance on the right, then turn left, also took you down to the platforms 1:42 think this was the registry office where you could get married 1:44 just past here on the right was a NHS clinic. In the early 60s they did eye tests by putting stinging drops in your eyes. Also gave ‘treatment’ for weak asthmatic children who would have to wear goggles and sit in front of a sunlamp. 2:32 on Manningham Lane. Think the building on the right with the pillars used to be a cinema. Somewhere on here on the right was a disco popular in the mid to late 60s. Live singing and records. DJ had to keep telling everyone not to stamp their feet when he played Dave Clark’s Bits and Pieces because it made the needle jump (or was it Glad All Over?). 7:14 entrance to Lister Park ahead. Right fork goes to Shipley, left spoon is for your soup! Priceless film!

[@MrDiddyDee]

[1:42] You're right that was The Registry Office, my sister got married there. At the top of Manor Row, only glimpsed by it's iron railings is Carlton Grammar School which I attended, just next to the school I believe it was a bank or a building society that had a bus stop where I caught the bus back into the city centre. [2:32] The building with the canopy front is The Theatre Royal, originally an old music hall and then a cinema. Not seen on the film but a bit further along on the other side of the road was the large department store 'Busbys', a long gothic style building that always looked clean compared with most of the soot black buildings in the city centre. I was always fascinated by the cash-carrying system which moved cash from the various sales counters from the shop floor up to their finance department by way of long sturdy looking capsules which hurtled along tubular caged trackways. [7:14] Although officially named Lister Park, I always knew it referred to as Manningham Park. The right fork onto Keighley Road led to Saltaire where the old engine shed building was located at the roundabout, in 2003 it was converted into 'The Old Tramshed' restaurant and bar, and then later into a live venue 'The Hop Saltaire', not sure what it is now I haven't lived in Bradford since the 70's . My father's uncles, and also his grandad, all worked on the trams, and my great grandfather actually died whilst at work in the tram shed, so this film was especially fascinating for me.

[@Embracing01]

I noticed too very few girls, it's mostly young boys and grown men and the odd woman. Contrary to popular opinion, people aren't living longer today. I heard life expectancy got better during thee 1920s, but once the NHS was (basically replacing natural health cures and remedies with big pharma health care) then that's when things started to change, and remember that the NHS was set up by William Beveridge who was a eugenicist. Back then things like cancer was unheard of, so something in our environment is contributing to this IMO, and it doesn't help with all the EMF radiation that's everywhere from mobile phones and wifi and 5G masts.

[@asifjavedcloud]

Alot of comments hinting towards Bradford being a failed city due to the Asian influx... It's my opinion that the main cause of Bradford's failure has been lack of transport links. From inadequate canal infrastructure, to the closure and lack of established through train lines, to the cancellation and lack of planned through motorways, from being ahead of Leeds , Bradford is now far far behind.

[@DamnDealDone]

Every single thing I loved in Bradford had become an Asian clothes shop, takeaway or Asian events place I think you might be ignorant of this fact and how much more Asian it has become since the 90's. This is the number 1 reason people don't want to come to Bradford.

[@asifjavedcloud]

@@DamnDealDone immigrants like my family usually settle in the cheapest area when they arrive, subsequent immigrants then also settle arround those areas due to low cost and familiar people, the shops arround them will reflect the people they serve. The areas of Bradford with better transport links are the areas that are seen to be more affluent and have less 1st, second and third generation immigrants, simple economics and sociology. I live in Bradford buy have worked in Skipton and Leeds for 20 years. Better transport links would have increased house prices, created more wealth helped the larger business and offices thrive, rather than just the current takeaways, barbers, phone shops etc etc.

Go to a real 3rd world country and try to live there for week. Bet you'll do anything to come back to Bradford

[@DamnDealDone]

@@IbnShahid Permanently pregnant morbidly obese Pakistani women in headscarfs that can't speak English wadling about on every single street. African refugees loitering on every single corner. Nothign but takeaways and asian clothes shops. Yep, it's becoming as close to a 3rd world country as it is possible to get in England. Give it another 50 years and it will be one of the worst places to live in the UK thanks to your lot.
