Shipley Clock Tower: Bid made for divisive building to be given listed status

Shipley Clock Tower is the subject of an application by the 20th Century Society. It wants to see the 1960s building, described as “a totem of mid-century modern design” given protection from ever being demolished. If Historic England grants the listing it will mean the tower will have the same status as many of Bradford’s grand Victorian buildings.
