SIR – While shopping in Bradford city centre recently, a group of Chinese visitors stopped me to ask if I could direct them to some of Bradford’s Victorian buildings which I did.
They lived in Manchester and were doing an architectural course and were advised Bradford had some of the finest Victorian buildings. I agree with them.
They saw Bradford’s stunning Grade I-listed City Hall, and as I used to work in a wool-chipping office, I could point out the Wool Exchange. They were going to look at mills – my dad was a wool sorter and I mentioned Lister’s Mill on the outskirts, and my mum and aunties worked there.
Coincidentally, our beautiful village hall is Grade II-listed.
We sometimes take for granted things around us. It was a very pleasant conversation with these visitors.
