Undercliffe Cemetery

A magnificent Victorian graveyard where the great and the good of Bradford are buried. Unbelievable stone carvings grace many plots, great tombstones that would guarantee anyone a place in heaven? Scenes from Billy Liar were filmed here and also burial scenes from Peaky Blinders. Bob Cryer the labour MP rests here as does Stafford Heginbotham the former Bradford City manager. Stafford has a view of Bradford City football ground from his resting place.

Went there for uni work/fieldtrip and its a beautiful place, some faacinating architecture as well, just a shame all the original buildings were lost

Undercliffe Cemetery is a mixture of new and old. Opened over a century ago, it has graves ranging from simple crosses to elaborate monuments, some of which are Grade listed. Some very important people have been interred here, including a Lord Mayor, wool barons and prominent businessmen.

I went on a tour around the cemetery ran by the volunteers. The volunteers were informative, helpful and their passion for the heritage and preservation of the grounds is amazing. I look forward to attending another tour next year.

Such a nice place to walk around. So much history, very peaceful. It's great looking at the grandeur of the many stones and tombs from the Victorian era. A particular favourite of mine is the tomb belonging to the Illingworths. The place is in need of a little work but I suppose... who's going to pay for it? There are two car parks at either end of the cemetery.

I love everything about this place. I appreciate that a cemetery may not be for everyone but if architecture and local history is of interest then this relatively unique place has it in spades.

Awesome place, to bad it's slowly die. All in grass and wood and if you step away from main roads all gravestone and state s are in bushes and trees destroy them. Sad to see how peaces of art get destroyed because of lazynes of wardens...

Undercliffe cemetery in Bradford is an incredible example of the Victorian obsession with death. This is not in any way to trivialise the grief and loss of a loved one, but Undercliffe cemetery shows the great divide even in Death between the rich and the poor. It is a stunning place to visit some of the monuments and Tombs are architecturally breathtaking, a fantastic monument to the stonemasons art and they must have been hugely expensive when built. A cemetery is on a hill with fantastic views over Bradford may seem an odd place to visit but it is well worth it.

undercliffe cemetery is absolutely beautiful. it's a vital historic landmark and the effort put in by the volunteer team who tend to its redevelopment / upkeep is vital & worthy of support. as a charity, they deserve as much as they can get.what unfortunately undoes all of this is the overwhelming presence of local youths who, unpoliced, are effectively given free reign to harass, abuse & threaten those visiting and/or using the cemetery.i strongly recommend visiting undercliffe for its history and cultural significance however i would issue a strong caveat to keep your wits about you and a weather eye on your nearest available exit until such time that adequate security measures are put into place at this crucially important facility.
