Pigeons and herring gulls circling Tesco this morning. There is a multitude of bird life around here and probably wildlife too. Plenty of food for stray cats and free roaming ones who prefer to hunt for themselves. 200 years ago, this area was farmland and according to the archives, tenants on Westcroft Road back then included a farmer, a blacksmith and a wheelwright. Please take a look in Bradford Archive Library if you have an interest. Despite far too many takeaways lower down Great Horton Road which create the impression of a city suburb, Great Horton is a thriving village community in and of itself and has tons of history to explore, not least the presence of the Great Northern Railway.
