Great British Railway Journeys · S14E5 — Bradford to Hebden Bridge

Season 14 episodes

Synopsis

Michael Portillo resumes his journey through postwar northern England, this time focusing on Bradford, Shipley, and Hebden Bridge. In Bradford’s Centenary Square, he meets the city’s celebrated literary figure, JB Priestley, creator of *An Inspector Calls*. A little further north, at Shipley station, Michael uncovers a surprising sight: a nature reserve flourishing within a car park, providing sanctuary for over fourteen species of butterfly and moth.
