    Bradford Council has received a confirmed National Lottery grant of just under £2 million for the Bradford City Centre Townscape Heritage Scheme.

    Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players, the four-year Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) project aims to bring the Bradford city centre conservation area known locally as the ‘Top of Town’ back to life to create “a high quality, attractive environment and make it a better place for people to live, work, and visit”.

    The ‘Top of Town’ boasts some impressive Victorian architecture, such as the old Yorkshire Penny Bank, Church House and the Institution for the Blind.
