People may be more familiar with the building’s more recent use - an Indian restaurant called Paprika. The Council’s Conservation Officer Jon Ackroyd said: “The Nags Head is a former pub dating from the early 19th century. “It may have been purpose built to serve traffic on the Bradford to Halifax turnpike which would have been a busy route at the time. “The building has not been used as a pub in a number of years, and is now in poor condition, with abortive internal works leaving the interior in a stripped and rather dangerous state. “It is evident however that the interior has previously been altered on multiple occasions during pub use, and nothing of significance remains.

The proposed site of the new food business PLANS to create a food court in a city centre Conservation Area have been refused by planning officers. Late last year an application was submitted to Bradford Council that called for a section of pay and display car park on Sunbridge Road to be converted into an outdoor eatery. It would have seen shipping containers installed in the walled car park area at National House, and seating for 92 diners, both outdoor seating and seating under a new roof that would be installed between the containers. The application, by Sheraz Akram, said the plans would inject life back into that area of the city.
