Halifax's Architectural Heritage

The town of Halifax is full of magnificent buildings designed by famous architects such as Sir Charles Barry, John Carr, Sir George Gilbert Scott and other buildings designed by the town's own talented architects.

Historical Changes Over Time

The town has altered quite dramatically during the last 150 years. Some of the earlier views dating from the Victorian period would be unrecognisable without more recent pictures to compare against.

Transport and Urban Development

Changes to transport from the days of horse and carts, to trams and motorisation have brought other more noticeable changes in terms of traffic schemes and street signs in abundance and of course, the one way systems.

Bringing History to Life

Halifax Through Time brings these changes to life contrasting the old and new and if the reader was so inclined, by following the structured sequence of photographs, provides a fascinating reference for a stroll around the town.
