Richard Norman Shaw

Photograph at the Richard Norman Shaw blue plaque

City Hall Bradford's landmark civic building was designed by Henry Francis Lockwood and William Mawson. The main structure was influenced by Amiens Cathedral, and the clock tower is a direct copy of the Campanile of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. City Hall was the headquarters of the now defunct Bradford City Police, and its cells and Victorian courtroom are still intact to this day. A 1909 extension to the building was designed by celebrated architect Richard Norman Shaw.
