Whetley Hill in 1967

7:58am Thursday 5th February 2009 in From the Air By Telegraph & Argus

The latest in our series of aerial shots by CH Wood takes a look at the Whetley Hill area just outside Bradford city centre.

Taken in early 1967, this picture shows the traditional Bradford properties that were in existence in this area four decades ago, many of which remain today.

Up the centre of the picture runs White Abbey Road, seen here from 2,000ft above street level.

Those who are familiar with the streets choked by traffic at rush hour will marvel at the lack of cars on the roads going up to Whetley Hill and Toller Lane beyond.

At the extreme right of the picture can be seen the Drummond Road School.
