Bradford Court

From UK Housing Wiki

Bradford Court is a 13 storey tower block on Whitstable Road in Manchester. It is 38.4 metres tall. Bradford Court is situated in the Moston area of North Manchester on an estate called The Miners Estate.

The miners estate consists mainly of houses and low rise maisonettes with one tower block - Bradford Court. The miners estate was built on the site of the old Moston colliery which closed in 1950. Many of the workers from Moston colliery transferred to the nearby Bradford colliery (Bradford is an area of Manchester) following the closure and the NCB built the miners estate to house workers from the Bradford colliery. There was a miners social club on the estate which is still there and now functions as a local pub.
