    Just looking through a few of my old pictures with regards Bradford City and came across this one of the old bridge over the railway lines coming out of Foster Square, wish I'd a £5 for every time I walked across that bridge from the Fox & Goose on Canal Road.

    It used to creak and groan as you walked across it
    Many a time when a good few people were using it I thought it would collapse
    Great memories

    Walk down from Fagley, pass the old Acid place (Leather's?) Then across the bridge hoping I wouldn't fall through. Way back was across the bridge, down past Tiffin Cafe and bus from Foster Square back home.

    I went down today no one about on the front pitch, I think they might have gone down to Aldershot today and do a training session at Aldershot's ground on Friday.
    It's a good camera but only as good as the photographer using it.

    Yes I would think it would be around that area that is now Hamm Strasse.

    We used the Fox & Goose late 60s early 70s so possibly it went around the late 70s, as I replies to @Fools Gold@Fools Gold I think it's where the Hamm Strasse was built, or a bit further on where Next & First Choice/TUI are in the retail park as you could get onto Midland Road from the bridge, if my memory serves me well ?.

    I started going mid 70's an I don't recall the bridge at all but then my dad drove me to the ground. The cop is exactly as I remember it although it had a railing running down the middle
