Eastbrook House

For much of the 18th century the area now known as Little Germany was pasture land with a few cottages and was owned by the Vicar of Bradford. Eastbrook House was built by Edmund Peckover, who purchased the land towards the end of the 18th Century. Peckover was close friends with John Hustler and both were hugely influential in the growth and development of Bradford. The estate consisted of an orchard garden and 20 acre meadow.
