Bradford is a large city in the north of England. Historically it was the wool capital of the world which saw a huge boom in population. It also had access to coal, metal ore and soft water. Those all lead to a boom in the textile and manufacturing industries. These industries help to build a scrap industry as the commercial scrap offers opportunity for scrap yards and keep prices competitive for the average scrapper.
While Bradford has seen a decline in its textiles industry, it has seen a rise in tourism and shopping. A successful shopping sector is great for the scrapper as the more people buy the more they get rid. Resulting in plenty of opportunity to acquire scrap.
