Halifax Heritage Tours CIC – ‘Halifax Town Centre Taster’ Walking Tour

Tue 26 Nov 2024, 10:45am

Welcome to Halifax! Whether you have lived here all your life or it is your first time here and you want to orientate yourself around town through the buildings and stories of our history, join us for a fascinating insight into Halifax Heritage. Come for a walk with a local guide, pointing out buildings and places previously unknown to you and hearing interesting details from the Medieval, Georgian and Victorian eras through to more modern times! Learn about the philanthropists and industrialists who shaped the heritage of Halifax through generations and encounter some of the listed buildings, including the Town Hall and the Piece Hall, which they left as their legacy.

This walk is in support of St Augustine’s Centre, Halifax, who support refugees and people seeking asylum in Calderdale. The Centre is incredibly grateful that Halifax Heritage Tours are generously donating all ticket income from this, and some other tours in coming months, to help them continue their work. www.staugustinescentrehalifax.org.uk
