Bradford 2025: 19 of our favourite photos taken across the city over the years as City of Culture takes off

Way before being named as the City of Culture for 2025, the Bradford district’s beauty city centre, distinguished architecture, modern flourishes, quaint villages and rolling meadows have inspired many a creative eye.
