2004 Boundaries of Heaton Ward

Heaton (population 14,519 - 2001 UK census) is a Ward of the City of Bradford, a metropolitan borough of West Yorkshire, England. It includes the villages of Frizinghall, Heaton and Daisy Hill, extending to Chellow Heights reservoir on the western edge and the Bradford-Shipley railway line on the eastern edge. Frizinghall railway station is on the edge of the ward.

The University of Bradford School of Management is located in Heaton, as are St. Bede's Grammar School and Bradford Grammar School. The official residence of the Bishop of Bradford is also in Heaton. Heaton has three public houses and a range of shops and restaurants. An ancient woodland, Heaton Woods, stretches from the village to Shipley.

J.B. Priestley grew up in Heaton and John Braine attended St. Bede's Grammar School. The village shot to fame in 1981 when Peter Sutcliffe, the "Yorkshire Ripper", who lived at 6 Garden Lane, was arrested.

Heaton is one of the few remaining places in England to have a Lord of the Manor. The title is currently held by John Stanley King who purchased the title in the 1980s. He has lived in the village all his life and is a local historian.
