    I've no idea. But that modern frontage on a lovely old building is a hideous eyesore.

    I'm inclined to agree with you there.

    Couldn't the council get involved with regards the renting out of wonderful old buildings like that, and make sure the frontage matches the architectural design of the building.

    Originally it was Church Institute designed by Andrews and Pepper, local architects who were also responsible for designing Bradford buildings like Manningham Mills and the Register Office on Manor Row.
    It has been the Pakistan Consulate as well
