Bradford was the third richest city in the world in 1853. That’s something I’ve carried with me for as long as I can remember. Growing up there, it’s hard not to notice. As a child, I was always struck by the buildings. They’re not just impressive, they tell a story. The scale, the detail, the confidence in how the city was built. In my opinion, there are only a few places in the UK that really compare, parts of London and Bath being the obvious ones.
