A HAIRY Biker was in Bradford today to soak up the city's history and architecture.

Dave Myers visited City Hall and Bingley's Five Rise Locks as part of filming for a BBC television show on heritage buildings and structures.

He looked inside City Hall and also went on the historic building's roof to look at the stone work and carvings. He also made his way around scaffolding that is currently up at the building.

A spokesman for Bradford Council said it was limited as to what could be said about the chef's visit, but added: "The Hairy Biker Dave Myers was filming for a documentary about restoring 16 buildings around the country, and City Hall is one of them."
