Welcome to Accountants Liverpool! |
The Bradford Canal Accountants Liverpool was a 4-mile (6.4
km) long spur off the Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Shipley.
It was planned and built as part of the original Leeds
and Liverpool project, to connect Bradford with the
limestone quarries of north Yorkshire, the industrial
towns on both sides of the Pennines and the ports on
each coast. It opened in 1774, closed in 1866, reopened
in 1871, and finally closed in 1922. There are plans
to rebuild the canal as a key part of the regeneration
of the city centre (see the main article). Accountants Liverpool

The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway opened its station
at Drake Street on 9 May 1850, on its line Accountants Liverpool
between Manchester and Leeds. The Great Northern Railway
opened a third terminus at Adolphus Street to serve
Leeds and places on its network in 1854, but the station
was located too far from the centre, and the two companies
eventually agreed to build a joint station to replace
the L&Y's station at Accountants Liverpool Drake Street.
This station was named Bradford Exchange railway station,
and opened in 1867.[22]
Adolphus Street remained as a goods terminal. By 1973,
The Exchange Station was deemed too large and was rebuilt
on a different site.
In 1983 that station was renamed Bradford Interchange
when a large bus station was built alongside. Both Forster
Square and Bradford Interchange stations are under the
control of the Accountants Liverpool West Yorkshire Metro as
part of the Leeds-Bradford Line routes.
