Bradford History: Busbys Department Store, Manningham Lane

Bradford will never be Bradford without Busby’s,As a child I remember visiting the store in awe at its magnificence.what a loss!

It was a spectacular building, i used to pass it on my way to valley parade in the 1970's. The fire was very suspicious, from memory planning permission had previously been declined.

Buildings burning at the top of town seemed to be quite a frequent thing. 100% done on purpose. Just think that entire area was still Bradford centre. From up Manchester Road to up Manningham Lane, Bradford centre was massive. Now reduced in size and next year will be reduced even further when the final nail is put in to the top of town coffin. Look at that over head view of the area. Majority of the buildings demolished.

My memory of the Father Christmas parade was of it starting at Lister Park, thr Frizinghall entrance. But it was agreed, Busby's Father Christmas was the real one, the Father Christmas at Brown Muffs was an imitation.
