My Photos of HALIFAX

Halifax, West Yorkshire, England is the place where I was born.  Although it is an industrial town, it is set in the most beautiful countryside and...well, see for yourself.

The above photograph is of the West side of the town of Halifax.  It is nestled among the mountainous slopes of the Pennine Mountain chain.  The valley itself is known as Calderdale.  The large building which dominates the picture is the Head Office of the former Halifax Building Society, no longer a building society but a bank called Halifax Plc.  It is a major employer of the Halifax population.  At the bottom of the photograph you can see the railway station.  One thing which you may or may not notice about the town from the photos is the large number of trees planted there.

The above photograph shows the centre of the town.  On the lower left of the photograph you can see the Piece Hall
