PROPOSALS to demolish a listed Bradford building have met with objections from two historical groups. Both Historic England and the Georgian Group have written to Bradford Council to voice their objections to plans to flatten the former Tanks and Drums building on Bowling Back Lane. The Grade II listed building, also known as Bowling House, was built in the 1830s as part of the Bowling Iron Works site. It was last used in 1999 as the headquarters for local company Tanks and Drums, and has been empty ever since. In February the building was damaged by a fierce fire. In April its owners, the Leo Sawrij group submitted a planning application to Bradford Council for permission to demolish the building for safety reasons.
