Tong is part of Bradford Metropolitian District in the county of West Yorkshire, England, named after Tong village which is its oldest settlement. The village is 4 miles to the south-east of Bradford City.
The village was an integral part of the Tempest estate, comprising workers' cottages, farmsteads and ancillary buildings. By 1725 a linear settlement extended eastwards from the chapel, towards Keepers Lane and Hill Green. Dwellings were mainly located to the front of Tong Lane with barns or outbuildings to the rear. It is believed settlement may have initially comprised two focal points, near the church and at Hill Green. Rebuilding work/renovation of village buildings, undertaken by the Tempests, occurred in the 17th and early 18th centuries.
These works included the rebuilding of the 12th century chapel by Sir George Tempest in 1727, and the construction of the village school and master's house in 1736. A vicarage also superseded the parsonage adjacent to the church. Church Farmhouse similarly dates from the 18th century.
One of the most famous landmarks of modern day Tong Village is Tong Garden Centre, which is located at the top end of Tong Lane, just around the corner from Westgate Hill, and down past the Six Acres carvery.
Half-way down Tong Lane, and you come to a holiday camping site, a motorcycle hill climb, and the Innovation Motorsports rally (and four by four) testing centre drive, located opposite the Courtyard Marriott Hotel, a nationally-renowned testing facility used by professional rally teams to ensure their up and coming drivers are up to scratch, before the major European rallies.
