Changing religious buildings in the changing urban landscape of Bradford.

This is the last chance to book for the above walk.
Meeting time and place: Bradford Forster Square Railway Station at 11am on Monday 30th September. Those arriving at Bradford Interchange Station will need to take a ten minute walk across the city centre. (There is no rail link between the two stations.) Parking at Forster Square station for 5 hours costs £4.

Professor David McEvoy will lead a walk of about 3 miles around Bradford city centre and nearby places examining how buildings built for one purpose often outlive their original purpose. This applies particularly to religious buildings because their founders may wish their structure to be imposing and longlasting. The walk will incorporate a range of religions and denominations, beginning with Bradford Cathedral. Many of the buildings we will see belong to a different religion from that for which they were founded, and some have turned to secular uses. Two of our  religious venues occupy properties designed for non-religious purposes. Much of the walk is flat, but the first mile involves uphill sections, including one broad outdoor staircase with a handrail.

Lunch will be taken in the city centre. There are numerous cafes and coffee shops, but also places where you can eat your own sandwiches. The walk is intended to end at 3pm.
