Google suggests that Bradfield is an parish north-west of Sheffield on the edge of the moors. I guess "Bradfield Bus" was branding for a service for that area.
Northern were an interesting operator who carved themselves a niche in between the big operators covering services the big boys didn't seem interested in at the time. Whether they had any long term future is anyone's guess because post-deregulation operators came and went rapidly regardless of ownership, culture or funding levels!
Thanks Ross for checking. Yes Warstone Green Bus did very much the same and lasted a good few years running out to the rural villages on the Staffordshire Shropshire border.
