Description

Bradford is a major city and metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, UK. It is about 9 miles west of Leeds.

OSM coverage

Coverage within the ring road is quite comprehensive, thanks in large part to the mapping party (see below). Progress on other towns and villages is progressing well. There are large rural areas within the borough that may take longer, as there is no Yahoo aerial imagery coverage.

NaPTAN data for West Yorkshire was imported in September 2009, so bus stops might appear in the middle of nowhere if roads have not been added to OSM.

Post box coverage

See Bradford post boxes for a summary of progress in mapping the 858 post boxes in the BD postcode area.

Routes

There are numerous waling and cycling routes in the area, including:

• Airedale Greenway - runs from Keighley to Shipley.

27th February 2008 First OpenStreetMap Pub Crawl, Bradford

Bradford was the location of the first OSM pub crawl, between pubs Cock & Bottle, the New Beehive Inn, and the Fighting Cock, mappers mapped different routes between each. Aim was to fill in some of the key roads in the centre, whilst drinking beer, and keeping fit walking around the hilly streets of this West Yorkshire city.
