	City of Bradford, West Yorkshire, North of England: The National Media Museum of Film, Television, Radio, Web and Photography is a free museum well worth a visit. There is a small cafe and the 'White Room' picnic area. The entrance to the museum is guarded' by the great northern writer JB Priestley. The statue of J. B. Priestley is quite striking with the Alhambra Theatre in the background. There is lots to see in the museum and lots of hands on stuff for kids!
	The licensed Tulsi Indian Vegetarian Restaurant (above, left and below) has a wonderful spicy lunchtime and evening buffet. Eat as much as you want for £6.95 (Oct 2008). It is situated just across from the magnificent building of City Hall (above-left and below-left), which you can see out of the restaurant window. The service is most polite, friendly and attentive.
	Take time out to visit the lovely building of Bradford Cathedral. The visit coincided with a choir practice so one wandered around to the sounds of Vivaldi's Gloria!
	There are some fine buildings in the centre of Bradford like the Midland Hotel (left), St Georges Hall and Victoria Hotel (below), but time did not permit as much exploration as was needed to view all the good architecture reflecting the industrial heritage and Northern pride of this busy multi-cultural city.
