A Story of Nostalgia, Shared Memories, and Unforgettable Moments
Life moves fast. We hardly ever stop to think about yesterday-never mind the '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, or '90s. Those days may feel distant, but the memories remain if you know where to look.
This book takes you down memory lane through the eyes of those who lived it, breathed it and did it. From Collinson's Cafe and Silvio's cream cakes, to cheering on the terraces at Valley Parade, catching the ABC Minors, or dressing up for the Alhambra Theatre. From skiffle bands and scooter boys to pirate radio. Relive the days of coal queues and radiograms, life on Sloan Square, the mischief of the Ginger Cowboy, the bustle of shopping around town, the camaraderie of Tetley's pub crawls, and the energy of gigs at St George's Hall. These are the stories and moments that shaped Bradford's unique spirit and togetherness.
Bradford, Ye What? brings together more than 20 Northern voices, sharing laughter, mishaps, and pride in the place they call home. Bradfordian Tim Hogarth ("Tim from the telly") opens the book with a foreword, and singing legend Tasmin Archer closes with an afterword, each adding their own memories to the tapestry of Bradford life from back in the day.

'I'm not from Bradford, why should I read that?'
'Ye don't need to be, lad! Don't knock it till ye try it. It's reet smashing it is, aye, reet smashing.'
Read it in a week and remember a lifetime full of memories.
