1. This is Barry Roots, a familiar face in Bradford. Whilst I was with him every person walking by said hello to him and nearly every driver horning/waving, even the passengers. He used to own a record shop here in the 70s. He sits on this bench nearly every day feeding the🐦🐦🐦

3. These are just some of the people stopping by for a quick chat with him, it was so heartwarming to see such scenes.

4. The pics aren't amazing but I just wanted to document this Bradford icon, I admit I was a little nervous, especially when people kept stopping by to talk to him and I felt a little self conscious standing there with my camera. But I'm honoured to have to have photographed him.
