Description
Explore the rich cultural history of Bradford’s Jewish community on this fascinating walking tour of Manningham, once home to the city’s vibrant Jewish Quarter. Arriving in the 1820s, German Jewish merchants helped transform the area into a centre of trade and stunning architecture.
Led by local historian, Nigel Grizzard, the tour shares stories of influential figures like war poet, Humbert Wolfe, and artist, Sir William Rothenstein.
Starting inside Bradford Synagogue, the tour covers approximately two miles. This is an outdoor tour; please wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.
