Book Description
This book provides a concise history of the comprehensive redevelopment of Bradford City Centre between 1945 and 1965, a process largely dismissed as a planning disaster. Linking up the story of ambitious City Engineer, Stanley Gordon Wardley, the book covers the exciting and turbulent years between postwar austerity, the “never had it so good” years and the 1960s property boom.
Based on research carried out in 2003 and 2004, the book provides a new chapter on Bradford’s history and links this to national trends in other towns and cities in the UK.
