Where to stay in Manningham
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Lister Park is the reason to look here. Manningham is housing first, and the rooms a visitor books sit in Bradford's centre, which leaves Cartwright Hall Art Gallery and the Keighley Road Memorial Gatehouse as a trip out rather than a doorstep. Few beds sit inside the ward itself.
Anyone with business at the Parish Church of St Chad or an afternoon planned in Lister Park can work from the centre without trouble.
