Twin Town 40th Anniversary Visit

     Visitors from the German City of Monchengladbach are visiting Bradford for the 40th anniversary of the two cities being made twin towns.  The visitors, accompanied by members of the Bradford Twin Town Association attended the unveiling of a new monument this morning by the Lord Mayor Cllr. Peter Hill.
     The picture was taken inside City Hall as I had arrived late and missed the outdoor ceremony, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank the visitors and everyone involved for allowing me to take this photograph.

New Market Place - Bradford

     This ornate street light in New Market Place has recently been reinstated with a new marble base and seating.  The brightly coloured plaques are the Coats of Arms of the cities that Bradford is twinned with.  They are the wool towns of Roubaix, Verviers and Monchengladbach and also the city of Skopje in the former Yugoslavia which was twinned with Bradford following an earthquake there in 1963.
