It’s 17:00 on Thursday in Bradford and as I approach a three-storey former country pub, drill music booms from the basement.

The snappy, rhythmic beats are not what you expect inside this old, listed building.

This is where teenagers from Gypsy, traveller and Roma communities get together every week. Older generations would call this a youth club but when I meet 16-year-old Sterling, he’s quick to correct me: “Youth clubs are out of style.”
