Save Bradford Lister Building! A Landmark of Educational and Industrial Heritage
We call upon Bradford Council and all relevant authorities to halt any proposed demolition of the historic Lister Building, and to instead recognise, preserve, and revitalise it as a living testament to Bradford’s pioneering role in textile education, innovation, and civic architecture.

Background
To lose the Lister Building is not only to erase a physical structure—it is to sever Bradford’s connection to one of its most profound achievements: the creation of a public educational infrastructure that empowered generations of students in science, art, and industry. Its date stone, its Bradford coat of arms, and its original, now-disused front entrance are reminders of an era when civic pride and public investment in knowledge were bound together.
