Midland Hotel (Bradford)

United Kingdom / England / Bradford / Forster Square
 hotel, Grade II Listed (UK)
The Midland Hotel is a 90-bedroom three-star Victorian hotel in Bradford City Centre, owned and managed by London-based Peel Hotels.

In 1970, the Rugby League World Cup trophy was stolen while on display at the hotel (holders Australia were staying there while playing at Leeds). Its whereabouts were unknown for almost 20 years, when it was found in a ditch near the Bradford & Bingley Sports Club, about 5 miles away. Even then, the trophy was not properly identified right away, and it was given to the finder as found property when no one claimed it. It eventually made its way back to its rightful owners.
