Tong is a ward on the eastern edge of Bradford in West Yorkshire, where suburban streets meet stretches of farmland and winding country lanes. The area is clustered around the historic core of Tong Village, which contains a medieval parish church and the old manor house Tong Hall, giving the ward a strong sense of local history amid more modern housing.
Today the ward combines Victorian terraces and post‑war council estates with pockets of countryside, and many residents commute into Bradford and the wider region for work. Community groups and local projects are active in the area, reflecting a distinct local identity and ongoing efforts to balance conservation of historic assets with economic and social renewal.
