About

Shearbridge & University is a residential neighbourhood situated directly south of Bradford city centre, dominated by the University of Bradford campus. The area is characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, which provides much of the accommodation for students and young professionals. Streets like Listerhills Road and Shearbridge Road form its main arteries, leading up towards the university buildings and student union.

The area's daily rhythm is heavily influenced by the academic calendar, with a noticeable change in activity during term time. 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. Green space is provided by Shearbridge Park and the nearby Peel Park.
