Bradford City Hall is shrouded in scaffolding and plastic sheeting for some renovation work to the imposing Victorian facade. The clock tower, which still rings a peal of bells every quarter hour, rises from the midst as if trying to free itself and escape heavenwards. The ferris wheel or 'Bradford Eye' is a temporary addition, until 19 April, so that you can get a bird's eye view over the city. It would be interesting on a better day but the rain and the open gondolas meant that there was little point in taking a ride when I was there. The local paper is showing some photos taken from the wheel, here.

ReplyDeleteA great shot, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a ferris wheel around here. I need it for the May 1 theme of "revolution."
