IT was 82 years ago today that Bradford was bombed.
On the night of Saturday, August 31, 1940 a German bombing raid took place and 116 bombs exploded in and around Bradford, killing one woman and injuring 111 other people.
The raid damaged Lingard’s department store, at the junction of Kirkgate and Westgate in the city centre. After the bombing, handbells were rung to signal the all-clear.
Other buildings hit included the Tatler Cinema, Thornton Road and Leeds Road Baptist Church.
There were several Lingard's stores in Bradford. Here's a look back at some of them - thanks to Gary Woolley for the photos.
