I've lived many years in and around the area of Halifax, I was wondering why I've never heard or walked this route before and after some google map searching I can see why, that commute into Halifax isn't an easy path and there are better nearby alternatives but despite this I will definitely be checking this path out sometime in the near future. Lovely video, thank you for sharing it with me.

Pretty sure the steep cobbled road that runs down next to Wainhouse Tower is part of Wakefield Gate, Ive had a unit there on Washer Lane Ind estate for 35 years.

This was great!... but please change the name to [ Halifax: the story of the Woolshops & beyond, Documentary from Calderdale ] you could ad on West Yorkshire but I cant remember the word count. But I found this film, as I'd only just leaned that the gates to the Arcade still exist, as a very small kid, I only remember there being boards up there, and just assumed for 40+ years that it was all new. and my parents had told me about that arcade for years. So to learn WHS's entrance was the north gate entrance just blew me away a little! ^_^

Fascinating walk, I never knew of the Wakefield gate , thoroughly enjoyed your insight and history, the drone photography is beautiful.

Well done to you all. I can't resist, however, saying that if the late Duke of Edinburgh had been present, and he was an expert unveilor, he would have said after about five minutes,"Oh for God's sake unveil the bugger". That is the milder version.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this informative video! I moved from Halifax to the USA in the late 90's, but I am still amazed by all of the history that I didn't know about when I lived there from 1971 to 1997. My goal is to walk parts of the Wakefield Gate when I next return for a visit!

Lots of information and good narration. Does anyone have a "link" to the map that is shown at 5:28 to 5:41. There looks to be a lot more information on this data sheet. I looked on the Trust website but did not find it.

Hi David. Im not sure if you can view this link. It takes you to the information board we placed at the end of the route. You should be able to zoom into the map. Thanks Mark. www.dropbox.com/s/goxi08zfa4ncani/97024%20Design%20v5%20Board%201.pdf?dl=0

Hi. I’m originally from Pye Nest and grew up living in Ackroyd Terrace in the shadow of Wainhouse Tower. Can you confirm that the Wakefield Gate I walked on to school is part of the Wakefield Gate featured in this excellent film.

@Kevin-mx1vi Жыл бұрын

I can't _confirm_ what you ask, but as Wakefield (not Leeds!) is the county town of West Yorkshire it's from where the county was administered. The Bishopric of Wakefield also extends as far as Todmorden, so the road to Wakefield would have been the most important road in the area and would have extended west of Halifax, not only to connect Wakefield to the western parishes, but also because of the woolen and cloth trade in the upper Calder valley. I suspect that "Wakefield Gate" probably ended at Sowerby Bridge or perhaps a little beyond, and the road westward became the road to Manchester.

Hi Andrew. The route these days starts above Matalan up the cobbled / Setts road and ends at Hipperholme so if thats the way you walked then it's the same route!

A very good an interesting video, Calderdale has a lot of hidden history and some not so hidden - moved down here in the 90's and was blown away I lived near an ancient well renowned for its healing qualities, stone circles and a Roman fort! Wasnt Treasure Island partially written in the town too....its an old place and I have loved it since I moved here

The Piece Hall is a very very special building and a huge asset for Halifax now. It took a long time for its value to be realised, thankfully avoiding the proposal of an Arnedale Centre to replace it.

Fantastic video! I was born in Halifax and left in the 90's just returning last year. As a teen I never appreciated how great our town and it's amazing history and architecture was until I decided to move back. Keep up the good work.

May I say that was SO enjoyable. I no longer live in Halifax so always enjoy seeing interesting programmes about it. This, although not a 'programme' was one of the best and most informative films I have seen in recent years. Thank you so much to the gentleman (David Witcher) who shared his knowledge - and fitness - with us! :)
