You surely mean Bradford, Vermont, USA or Bradford County, FL, USA, can't think of any other Bradford that fits the description otherwise.
Wakefield with it's art museum, historic theatre, shiny new shopping centre, waterfront developments, legendary castle, magnificent cathedral, soon to be built swimming baths and sports complex is far more fancy than the only other Bradford I know of.
