Description

Manningham is an historically industrial-workers area of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, approximately a mile north of the Bradford city centre. The population of the 2011 Census for the Bradford Ward was 19,983.HistoryManningham holds a wealth of industrial history, including mill buildings, imposing wool merchants' houses and back-to-back terraced houses. It is the old Jewish area of Bradford. Many of Manningham's German community later migrated to the Heaton area of the city.Manningham was the location of the Manningham Riot (June 1995) and the Bradford Riots (July 2001). In April 1994, The Independent newspaper reported that unemployment in Manningham stood at 40% (around four times the national average at the time), and that a large number of known drug users and alcoholics lived there.GeographyThe area usually termed "Manningham" tends to be that bordered by Manningham Lane to the east, Thornton Road to the south west, and Oak Lane to the north. However this is historically inaccurate as places such as White Abbey, Black Abbey, Longlands and Brown Royd that would be covered by this were separate communities. This inaccurate view of what constitutes Manningham has persisted with the creation of administrative units such as the Manningham Ward.StreetsManningham Lane, part of the A650, stretches from Hamm Strasse to Lister Park (also known as Manningham Park) where it becomes Keighley Road. It is a busy road in terms of both traffic and commerce, lined with shops and businesses for practically its entire length.
