About

Discover the hidden journey of Bradford Beck with the Bradford Beck Plaque Walk, a self-guided trail that brings the city's underground waterways to life. Along the route, 15 engraved stone markers are set into the pavement, each featuring a unique line of poetry that reveals the beck’s hidden path beneath the bustling streets. Follow the trail between Thornton Road, past Bradford Live the former Odeon, and through to Lower Kirkgate, uncovering a different side of the city’s history.
