The City, a Forgotten part of Halifax: A David Glover Historical Talk

Price: £7
A black and white aerial photograph looking over Halifax, with several smoking chimneys visible.

Event description

1.30pm

A new illustrated presentation by local Halifax Historian David Glover.

Until 90 years ago an inner part of Halifax was dubbed The City; it was congested, contained many yards and ginnels, and was poorly sanitised.

Eventually by the 1930s it was condemned, and properties compulsorily purchased; demolition followed, with a view to a cinema and a new Bus Station being built. The Odeon arrived, then after nearly 20 years – and temporary air raid shelters – came Cross Field which many will recall. We also take a look at what the old streets nearby looked like.

Taking place at Elland Community Hub , Huddersfield Road, HX5 9DL

£7,  you can book online in advance or pay  on the door
