SUNBRIDGE WELLS
Did you know that beneath Bradford there is a network of old tunnels?

There are plenty of myths and legends surrounding these tunnels. Some are rooted in history, while others have been passed down through generations. Fact or fiction? You’ll have to decide for yourself 😂👻

💡Medieval origins – Sunbridge Wells began as a 13th-century sandstone quarry, around 30 feet beneath Bradford’s streets.
💡Prisoner legends – Parts were later used as cellars and prison cells, leading to stories of prisoners, executions and ghostly activity.
💡1960s nightclub – The tunnels became home to The Little Black Fat Pussycat, an underground nightclub associated with wrestler Big Daddy.
💡Music legends – Rod Stewart, Kiki Dee and The Beatles are said to have sang there.
💡WWII shelter – The tunnels were designated as a major city-centre air-raid shelter during the Second World War.

Despite all of the stories, what is definitely true is that there was a vast network of tunnels and vaults underneath the city.

These were rediscovered in 2006 by a developer and they are now an underground leisure complex. You have to look out for the entrances as they are not easy to find, but they are definitely worth discovering. You can have a drink, some food, listen to music all while feeling like you’ve stepped back in time.

📍 Sunbridge Wells, Bradford (we used the entrance off city park)

A food market is my favourite place to stop and have lunch. I love the choice and informal atmosphere of them. So, when I was in Bradford I was always going to try and find one.
I found the incredible Darley Street Market which is a bit different to your typical food market.

It had three very different floors.
Ground floor – Independent shops, stalls and two cafés.
Middle floor – Fresh Food Hall
Top floor – Darley Street Kitchen

The top floor is your typical food hall with a wide range of food vendors and an outdoor terrace.
The food stalls are;
- Ayubowan
- Caffe Brigante
- Friesday
- Kneads Must Pies
- Let’s Go Greek
- Mexi Bean Express
- Mr Ts
- Pizzeria Il Forno
- Sushi Hometown
- Taste of Thai
I got Devil’s rice with chicken from Ayobowan. It was so lovely, and freshly made.

The Northern Monk is also upstairs as the bar.
Once you’ve ordered your food you can sit in the main food hall or on the terrace overlooking the courtyard.
If you’re in Bradford I’d definitely recommend a stop here
📍 16–24 Darley Street, Bradford, BD1 3HH.

There are more than 300,000 flowers in Bradford this weekend, creating a huge flower carpet in Centenary Square.

We were gutted when we missed this when we were in Brussels, so there was no way we were missing it when the Flower Carpet came to the UK for the first time.

It’s a 29-metre-wide piece of living art made out of 300,000 dahlia flower heads. The design is based on the local textile industry and it was designed by local artist Shiraaz Ali.

It’s really incredible to see up close as the detail in it is incredible. Visit Bradford Bradford Culture Company

Did you know there’s a table in Blackburn that’s older than the pyramids?

If you love a bit of history and you’re looking for somewhere a little different to visit, head to Blackburn Cathedral and look out for the incredible Table for the Nation.
It’s an understatement to even say it’s huge. The table is 13 metres long and it’s made from 5,000-year-old Black Oak, so it was growing before the Egyptian pyramids were built!
It was a find and a half when it was discovered under farmland in 2012. It had been preserved for thousands of years, so there was no decay or insects in it at all.

A huge 13-metre section of the oak tree was recovered and used to create this incredible table, which is now touring the country.

While you’re there, have a look around the cathedral too, as it’s a stunning building and free to visit.
