About

Shearbridge & University is a residential neighbourhood situated directly south of Bradford city centre, dominated by the University of Bradford campus.

Streets like Listerhills Road and Shearbridge Road form its main arteries, leading up towards the university buildings and student union.

The university itself is a major local employer and its technology park contributes to the local economy. A specific local landmark is the unique, brutalist architecture of the university's main buildings, including the distinctive Richmond Building.
