Bradford is a city in West Yorkshire at latitude 53°47′25.44″ North, longitude 1°45′16.20″ West.
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 https://osm.mathmos.net/postboxes/progress/ for a summary of progress in mapping post boxes in the UK.
Routes
There are numerous walking and cycling routes in the area, including:
- Airedale Greenway - runs from Keighley to Shipley. (added as relation, see United Kingdom National Cycle Network/Local Routes)
Events
Future events?
Nothing planned. If you're in Bradford and would like to organise a meet-up. Let's do it! Edit the page!
We did have a discussion with the folks behind growbradford.org.uk, who are interested in collaborating, and working with the council on mapping allotments. With some interest from users: Growbradford, Harry Wood, LastGrape/Gregory & chippy/tim waters. But we didn't manage to make it happen. That was in 2015.
