Lister Park (or Manningham Park as its also know as) was created in 1870 around Manningham Hall and grounds. The hall was purchased by Bradford Corporation at “half real value” from Samuel Cunliffe Lister, one of Bradford’s wealthiest mill owners to provide a Public Park. An additional much smaller parcel of land was conveyed to the Corporation in 1880 by Mary Field of Heaton Hall and then the Dowager Countess of Rosse and her son, Lawrence Parsons, 4th Earl of Rosse for the purpose of a Carriage Entrance. On a visit to the park found in 1898 Lister found the hall to be in a shabby and dilapidated condition. He gifted the proceeds from the previous sale to the Corporation to replace the hall with a permanent memorial to Edmund Cartwright – the inventor of the power loom upon which much of Bradford’s prosperity had been founded. The stages can be done in any order. Make a note of the clues at each stage to allow you to work out the coords for the bonus cache GC90XNN which is hidden very nearby.
