This fascinating collection of over 200 old photographs illustrate scenes of people and events in the Parish of Halifax, one of the largest parishes in the country, from a period of more than one hundred years. One of the earliest photographs in the book shows the opening of the Borough Market in 1896 and there are scenes too from the early days of the Halifax Zoo, Sunny Vale Pleasure Gardens and Halifax rugby and football clubs. Early transport in the town is featured, including steam trains, trams, buses and motor cars and a host of people going about their daily activities. Also included are scenes from the neighbouring communities of Sowerby Bridge, Ripponden, Elland, Brighouse and Hebden Bridge, making this the largest sequence of old photographs of the area ever to be seen in print. Local people will not be surprised to hear that all of the images included here have been drawn from the author's own well-known and extensive collection of old photographs, ephemera and memorabilia of Halifax.
