List of mayors of Bradford
This is a list of Mayors and the later Lord Mayors of the city of Bradford.
After having elected a mayor since 1847 Bradford was awarded the dignity of a Lord Mayoralty by letters patent dated 16 September 1907.[1] At the time, it was the seventh most populous borough in England and Wales, and the second largest in area, and thus the largest municipality without a Lord Mayor.[2] When Bradford became a metropolitan borough in 1974 the honour was confirmed by letters patent dated 1 April 1974.[3]

gollark: Also, I recommend you check the values manually, partly for precision and partly because I have no idea if it's 100% reliable.
gollark: Also, like all ToD thingies, it takes an hour of refreshing; but hey, it's automatic.
gollark: It'd take about ten seconds to port it to a userscript (for tampermonkey/greasemonkey/whatever) but there seems to be more demand for this.
gollark: Not *very* tested, but it ought to work. It's a browser extension.
gollark: Also, is anyone interested in my automatic time of death gettter?
