Citygate Bradford
Citygate was a c. 2007 scheme to build the tallest building in Bradford and joint tallest building in Yorkshire, on a site on Manchester Road. The developer went into administration in 2008 and in 2010 the site was acquired by the Skelwith Group, which has announced proposals for an initial development phase of more than 700 apartments.
The Aspire Citygate firm (trading under Bradford Developments) went into administration in January 2016, so the £45 million scheme has stalled despite work starting in 2012 on site.

Birch Lane
Birch Lane was a rugby league ground in Bradford, England. It was the first long term home of Bradford Northern Rugby League Football Club, who played there for 26 years from 1908 to 1934 before moving to Odsal Stadium. For a short while it was also home to Bradford F.C. in their first incarnation as a football club. Birch Lane was described as "notorious" and a "poverty-stricken place" and was never popular either with Northern or, for the short period they were there, Bradford F.C.
There is also a cricket ground at Birch Lane which adjoins the site of the rugby ground, home to Bowling Old Lane Cricket Club. This predates the rugby ground and continues in existence to this day.
