Preparations for BD Festival 2024

Preparations for the 2024 BD Festival which starts this Friday evening (26th July) and runs through Saturday.  The annual Festival is held in the centre of Bradford around the mirror pool and Centenary Square and includes street theatre, music and dance.

Leeds-Liverpool Canal at Bingley

Took grandchild number one for a bike ride along the Leeds-Liverpool canal yesterday.  The picture shows the canal just above the Five Rise Locks at Bingley.  The canal once had a link to the centre of Bradford. There was talk of reinstating it at one point, but I don't think there was the money to do it and it never happened.
