Pevsner's list of the Victorian churches of Bradford gives the date as 1848 and the architect as Walker Rawsthorne. The design is enlivened by the little corner turrets. The 1896 revision of the OS 1" map shows it as having a spire, which has now been replaced by the open-work top to the tower.

This row of back to back houses is part of the Bradford Industrial Museums exhibits. The row was originally sited near to Laisterdyke in Bradford and has been rebuilt here. The houses contain a Yorkshire range and the living rooms have linoleum on the stone floors.

The Museum is situated on Moorside Road Eccleshill, and occupies four floors of a former woollen mill.

Taken in the middle of Harrogate Road, a dual carriageway at this point, on the central reservation. For at least 40 years to my knowledge various cafes in the area have intermittently rejoiced in this name, though they don't seem connected.
