Bradford City Hall is a huge building in Centenary Square which dominates the city centre's skyline with its tall clock tower.

It is a Grade 1 listed building and was built to replace an old town hall, as Bradford needed a city hall to revival that of Leeds and Halifax's. It was opened on the 9th September 1873 but has been extended a few times since then.

On the frontage of the hall a stone statue of Oliver Cromwell can be found, if you look for him carefully.

On a good day with the wind blowing in the correct direction we can hear the clock chiming from our house a few miles away. At Christmas the bells play a festive tune to make the turning of another hour.

I love to see the inside of this fantastic building one day.
