We are a group of Bradford-based residents and interested ecologists who are keen to see the restoration of the Bradford Beck river system.
The Beck system was badly damaged during the industrial revolution with physical modifications continuing into the 21st Century.
The current state of the Beck is explained in this film by Billy White which follows the course from Thornton down to Shipley. (13 minutes, make a coffee first!)
We are involved in a variety of activities aimed at bringing the becks back to life and full health.
We include geographers, historians, engineers and people who like doing stuff outside.
We don’t always agree how to do do things but we respect each other and have a great time.
We are delighted to be affiliated with the Wild Trout Trust’s Trout in the Town initiative, and to have been awarded silver level status.
Here is Eddie Lawler, singer and songwriter, introducing Bradford Beck to you.
