Bradford s historic Little Germany area could be transformed into dedicated Heritage Action Zone yorkshirepost.co.uk - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from yorkshirepost.co.uk Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The plan also says “low traffic neighbourhoods” could be introduced in some parts of Little Germany. Little Germany dates back to 1850s, when Bradford was a world leader in the wool trade, and known as “worstedopolis.” Many of the buildings were built by textile merchants from Europe - giving rise to the name Little Germany. Much of the area remains almost untouched since then, with many of the buildings protected through being listed, and through the area being designated a Conservation Area. Recent years have seen Freeman Grattan set up a new headquarters in one of the area’s many listed buildings, the unveiling of a huge mural of David Hockney, made out of tens of thousands of nails, and the announcement that a new Coroner’s Court will be opening in a building on Cater Street.
