Thorpe Edge is a housing estate located in, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England.
Thorpe Edge is situated off Harrogate Road in the north-east of the City of Bradford and borders Idle, Five Lane Ends, Greengates and Eccleshill.
Once farm land, the estate was mostly constructed in the 1950s. It was constructed mostly of low-rise housing but, with two high-rise developments; the York Place flats and the Fairhaven Green flats. All of the high-rise flats are eight-storeys in height and still standing,[1] the larger York House has shops on the ground floor. Some mid-rise flats were also constructed along the Northern edge of the estate. These were demolished in the 2010s. Some of the older low-rise houses were demolished in the 2000's. York House recently underwent a site survey and deemed unfit for purpose. Incommunities filed an application to Bradford Council for the demolition of the site and the council agreed. Work started in the summer of 2024. Once complete, York House will make way for social housing.
