Belle Vue is a district of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England with a post code of BD8. It is located near Manningham Lane, home of the Belle Vue Barracks,[1] the former Belle Vue Pub,[2] and the original location of Belle Vue Boys' Grammar School (now Beckfoot Upper Heaton).[3] The area overlooks Valley Parade, the home of Bradford City AFC. Its name is derived from the fact that the site enjoyed a prominent view to the south and east, for which Belle Vue Terrace was known.
