Cathedral Church of St PeterListed building · 128 ydExplorer Tom Cathedral Church of St Peter in Bradford is Grade I, which basically means it’s showing off. It’s huge and holy. Don’t stare too long or it might charge you entry fee. Just snap a wide shot!

General Post OfficeListed building · 138 ydExplorer Tom General Post Office in Bradford used to send letters before email ruined everything. It's in Forster Square, which sounds like a place where people argue about politics. Avoid eye contact!
Statue of W E ForsterMonument or public art · 164 ydExplorer Tom W E Forster’s statue in Bradford is posing like he just invented trousers, which he probably did. The man thinks he’s the centre of the universe, so keep it brief. Wave hello for me!
Fibres sculpturePublic sculpture · 323 ydExplorer Tom The Fibres sculpture in Bradford is tangled up in more knots than my life story. It looks like a cat chewed a ball of wool and gave up halfway. Take a photo if you dare!
Foundation Stones SculptureMemorial · 392 ydExplorer Tom Foundation Stones Sculpture in Bradford was bought by a money lender, how very chic. Gordon Young made them in 1985 when fashion was weird. Rate the vibe from one to ten!
Bradford City Fire MemorialMemorial · 594 ydExplorer Tom Bradford City Fire Memorial is standing proud, probably pretending to be a dragon sleeping on its hoard. Don't wake it up, just take a quick photo for me.
Monument outside the GurdwaraMonument or public art · 718 ydExplorer Tom Monument outside the Gurdwara is standing guard with its arms crossed, judging my walking pace. It looks serious, but I bet it secretly loves jazz music. Go ask it what it thinks.
Old milestoneMonument or public art · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Old milestone in Bradford is covered in moss, looking very zen and detached from reality. It’s definitely not paying attention to you.
Church of Our Lady and St Peter - GrottoCave or cavern · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Church of Our Lady and St Peter - Grotto cave or cavern in Bradford hides inside a church. I bet the mice think it’s their exclusive nightclub, complete with cheese garnishes and dim lighting.
Brow WoodWood · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Brow Wood in Bradford is viewed from Prince's Crescent, which sounds royal. It's a wood with unknown access, so peek in and see if it's worth the fuss.
Peter PanVisitor information · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Peter Pan in Bradford is still waiting for Tinkerbell to show up with the fairy dust. He looks a bit disappointed, honestly, but the sculpture's doing its best. Take a pic if he waves at you, or just pretend he did.
History of the Lister Park LionsVisitor information · 1.6 miExplorer Tom History of the Lister Park Lions tells us these statues have seen some things. They were definitely not just sitting there looking majestic; they've got secrets. Ask them politely if you dare.
