Dave Myers is in Bradford, West Yorkshire, helping to restore the jewel of Bradford's architectural heritage, the spectacular Victorian City Hall. Dave gets up close and personal with Britain's monarchs and discovers the secrets behind the stonemasons' mark. He helps the builders restore this historical building and takes a barge down the Leeds and Liverpool canal with a historian who unveils the secrets behind Bradford's wealth during the industrial revolution. The City Hall was built to house the councillors of Bradford and construction team William Anelay want to restore it to its former glory. Dave not only helps give it a good scrub, he gives the statuesque angel standing just beneath the clock tower its golden horn back.
