dbo:abstract
  • Bradford Beck is a river that flows through Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, (then Bradford Dale) and on to the River Aire at Shipley. As it reaches Bradford city centre it runs underground after being built over in the 19th century. It is culverted as it runs from Bradford city centre to Queen's Road after which it runs mostly in an open channel to Shipley. The beck used to be known as the filthiest river in England. Bradford itself is so named after a crossing on Bradford Beck (the Broad Ford) which was located near to what is present day Church Street in the city centre, with a crossing named as Broadstones. The beck is formed from a number of smaller watercourses, namely Pinch Beck, Pitty Beck, Middlebrook, Clayton Beck, Bull Greave Beck, Chellow Dene Beck, Westbrook, Dirkhill Beck, Bowling Beck, Eastbrook, Bolton Beck, Trap Sike, Northcliffe Beck and Red Beck.

  • Bradford Beck est une rivière qui traverse Bradford, West Yorkshire, Angleterre (puis (en)) et se dirige vers la rivière Aire à Shipley. Lorsqu'il atteint le centre-ville de Bradford, il court sous terre après avoir été canalisé au XIXe siècle. Il est couvert du centre-ville de Bradford à Queen's Road, après quoi il passe principalement dans un canal ouvert vers Shipley. Le beck était connu comme « the filthiest river in England », la rivière la plus sale d'Angleterre . Bradford lui-même, est ainsi nommé d'après un croisement sur le Bradford Beck (le Broad Ford) qui était situé près de ce qui est aujourd'hui Church Street, avec un croisement nommé Broadstones. Le beck est formé d'un certain nombre de cours d'eau plus petits, à savoir: Pinch Beck, Pitty Beck, Middlebrook, Clayton Beck, Bull Greave Beck, Chellow Dene Beck, Westbrook, Dirkhill Beck, Bowling Beck, Eastbrook, Bolton Beck, Trap Sike, Northcliffe Beck et Red Beck.
