Where to stay in Laisterdyke
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Bradford Moor ward covers this ground, and a bed for anyone working out here is best taken in Bradford itself, with Laisterdyke a short run east along the roads that carry on into the City of Leeds. There are no hotels here. Barkerend, Thornbury, Tyersal and Bowling ring it, and the choice between them matters less than the run back into Bradford.

About Laisterdyke
What are the main landmarks in Laisterdyke?
The record hands Laisterdyke no landmark at all. There is no church, museum or monument filed under its name, which puts everything a visitor might look at in the neighbouring areas, Barkerend, Bradford Moor, Thornbury, Tyersal and Bowling, or in the middle of Bradford. That is the honest position.
The City of Leeds begins at its boundary.
What is the history of Laisterdyke?
Nobody wrote down when Laisterdyke began. Laisterdyke comes down as an area name rather than a chartered settlement, and what the record fixes about it is administrative: the Bradford Moor ward, the Bradford East constituency, and a boundary shared with the City of Leeds. The dated history belongs to Bradford itself.
Its neighbours, Barkerend, Thornbury, Tyersal and Bowling, carry the same kind of entry.
Where is Laisterdyke?
