Who would have thought, these people on photos 100 years old, would be facing terrible world wars

Thank you. Many happy memories and quite a few reminders too :)

4:43 - 04:50 what am I looking at? You know it's an old photograph when you can't tell what you even looking at.

Wrong Halifax, Mr. Algorithm

a lot of damage done in the name of progress

FROM ABOUT 9.30 0N THE PICS ARE A BIT BLURRED. PLUS I WOULD HAVE FOUND IT HELPFUL IF THE PLACES WERE NAMED AS I HAVEN'T LIVED IN HALIFAX FOR YEARS. HOWEVER, AN EXCELLENT COMPILATION. THANKS VERY MUCH. 🤗

Have you got any old photos of Mary Street ?

Up the Boro!!!☘️

I visited Halifax in 1967 and 1977😊❤🇺🇸

I thought Halfords was a new brand

Anyone know of a sweet shop called Carmodys? My great-grandfathers family . They also had a meat shop. Bunratty.

Enjoyed this John . Well Done. My home town.

The pics are going too fast😢.i loved the video❤

How could such a bustling city have such sad music? Looks like the whole thing didn’t have a bad side.

1:42 my old house in the distance 1 Ovenden Road Terrace

Brilliant...

I’d love a copy of the firefighter rew photo. Do you know where I can get one ? Thanks . Conor Sheehan

A small correction; The photograph of the children on the seesaw was taken in Heptonstall, not Halifax. It dates from the mid 1930's, and the boy just left of centre with the dog in his lap was Geoff Sunderland. He later married the girl on the right in the white dress and wearing a hat, whose name was Winnie. Sorry I don't know her maiden name. Information courtesy of my mum, who's nearly 90 and knew some of these children.

Not an african in sight

Me here from the Halifax in Canada wondering why I don't recognize any places.

Very interesting selection of old photographs of the town. I dont know Halifax well enough to place very many of the photos, as my knowledge of the place comes mainly from visits to a friend and the pub crawls that often involved. I was hoping to see a picture of my favourite Halifax pub, the marvellous Big 6 in Thomas Street West. There was nothing wrong with the music but something like the Black Dyke Mills Brass Band would have been highly appropriate I feel.

Are you Rosie's nephew

As an "off-comed 'un" (I live in Skipton) I used to occasionally work in Halifax when I was employed as a BT engineer and whilst not totally familiar with every part of Halifax, I can place some of these scenes. Thanks for sharing these views. I really enjoyed them.

do one of the sandmall

Nice. Please subscribe to my channel too

Great video but @1.40 that is the Rock of Cashel and a few klicks from Limerick

I would have enjoyed this video more if the photos were a little slower moving from one to another 👎🏻sorry

Very nice thank you.

Love the selection of photos. Any chance of a re-edit that doesn't transition so fast ?

Nice slideshow john, is that Donald John at 7:13 he's only homeless man i can recall people speaking of back in the day? He's a bit before my time.

My Father was born at 5 Colin street, Halifax in 1910.

These people bled so you could have England as a safe haven for your sons and daughters. Patriotic Alternative is a new movement that unapologetically wants to stop the ethnic cleansing of Britons. We were never asked!

Top.... But the music sucks!

Hull, Hell and Halifax... is what the older generation used to say about the place... with some justification. There are nice bits of it like Wainstalls on the outskirts of town where we had a cottage and workshop for a time.

Hi You are showing a copyrighted photograph of mine on your video.

OR EVEN BETTER SOME PICS

Dose anyone remember jacks field and Denfield kitchens IN OVENDEN

Great photos of my home town yet incredibly depressing music. These images are a celebration of a great town yet the music does not reflect this.

My grandfather was in uk Halifax in 1951

I was raised in Halifax, grew up in the 60s, 70s. It’s a scruffy old town now, no dignity

I've really enjoyed looking at these old photos, some I recognise others before my time. The only thing I can find fault with is you didn't linger long enough on each frame. But otherwise very enjoyable, thank you

It must have been hard living in parts of the world that were still in black and white. I wonder when it all finally finished changing and everywhere was in colour.

Oh boy thats good Work thank you John 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great pics but they change too quickly

what,s the soundtrack John, beautiful.

Hi John I emigrated from Halifax to Ireland in 1977 at 19yrs of age. I have been back visiting 4 or 5 times just for a day here and there. I came across your video by accident this evening and it gave me great pleasure to see so many familiar places. I recall collecting my first bicycle in Halfords at 7yrs old what a memorable day. We lived in Ovenden and the Wheatley. No car then so we walked and cycled everywhere, Mixenden, Mount Tabor, Midgley, sowerby bridge, Shipden park Northarm, southarm. sidle, Brighouse, Elland, Manor Heath, Wainhouse tower, Boothtown, Queensbury the names and memories just keep coming Thank You Leo Reddy nearly 60

❤❤❤

Where is the photo taken from at 37 seconds ?

Hi John. Could you possibly get in touch with me somehow. I'm wanting permission to use your video on my Facebook group 50 shades of Halifax m.facebook.com/groups/924695794311356
