Take a step back to the 90s with these images of Bradford’s city centre. Although the city seemed to be bustling with shoppers, it wasn’t too long before you came across an empty shop or To Let sign.
Bradford’s James Street 1996, once home to the popular ex catalogue store Manorgrove.
Bustling with shoppers Bradford’s Kirkgate pictured here in 1996.
Darley Street, plenty of shops but not many shoppers in this 1993 picture.
Heading towards North Parade, Bradford’s Rawson Place June 1996. Who remembers the food store at the bottom, where you could weigh your own produce?
Even the snow could not stop these shoppers grabbing a January bargain. Just in view, at the top of Darley Street, Champion Sport.
Pictured here in 1993 Petergate’s shop and office block. The so-called ‘banana block’ was demolished in 2005 to make way for the £300 million Broadway shopping scheme.
Pictured here in 1996 John Street Market. To the right of the entrance, still going strong, the Rio Clothing store?
Short sleeves are in order in this 90s picture, as Bradford’s office workers take a break on the grass outside Provincial House.
Westgate’s Tickles nightclub and the popular discount store Peek-A-Boo, pictured here in 1993.
