Sunbridge Wells – Bradford’s subterranean leisure complex – has scooped two honours at this year’s Civic Voice Design Awards.

Nominated by Bradford Civic Society, Sunbridge Wells was given a special commendation plaque as well as an award for outstanding acheivement within a conservation area. The Civic Voice judges said, “We just loved this bold project for its imaginative restoration of a derelict heritage asset, ambitious conservation effort and its positive economic regenerative effect. A beacon of hope for Bradford and an inspiration for our urban centres.”

The judging panel were so impressed by Bradford’s nomination that they have arranged a national study tour for the site, which is due to take place in September.

Bradford Civic Society would like to congratulate Sunbridge Wells on their fantastic achievements.
