City Hall return for police officers
POLICE in Bradford are rolling back the years with a return to City Hall, seen inset in the 1960s, which was their headquarters for more than a century.
City of Bradford Police was based there from 1873 to 1974 and now officers from the Bradford South division are heading back, with a new contact point and exhibition of photographs and artefacts of past policing in the city in a project funded by confisctaed cash from local criminals. Officers said the joint initiative with the council would benefit both the public and businesses and give an insight into policing of yesteryear. Main picture: Jonathan Gawthorpe.
