The Irony of Monster Mansion being on Love Lane.

Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

There is an old saying called The Beggars' Litany. From Hull, Hell and Halifax, the Lord deliver us. I believe this is because these town were very hard on itinerant beggars and wanderers

This my home town as a kid i lived behind this and used to play in the grounds was a awesome place was a shame to lose it to a school my mum has old pictures on the field as we used to make tree swings on the hill 😂

What a fabulous insight into a long lost line. Unfortunately only last week the efforts to restore the Queensbury tunnel finally came to an end 😢

Awesome, great work

Nice Video👍

My mother started to show symptoms of Alzhiemer's Disease and spent some of her latter years here and was looked after by nurses and staff who were truly dedicated to their task and I don't care how much they were paid - it wasn't enough - this was until Margret Thatcher sold it off under what she called her Care in the Community Scheme where she said "Patients would be better at home with their families" It was in fact just another one of her and her government's scams to save money to fund tax cuts to the well off and nothing to do with the welfare of the patients. Since then there have been hundreds of fatal attacks by mentally ill patients that places like Stothes Hall could have prevented and there are still people who believe that Margret Thatcher did a good job.....

I use to live across the road from Hare motors at Ovenden so use to pass there everyday in the 2009-2015 on one drunk night had my picture taken in those stocks can’t believe for historical value there not looked after

Use to lived in illingworth just across the road from Hare motors a nice place to live

watching this makes me fill with sadness, Halifax the town of my birth and many of my family are still there. Heartbreaking to see such a wonderful town with a lot of genuine history for the world be broken apart for what we call progress. Hope to visit there again some day.

We broke in there in the 90s when they were pulling it down we were just kids it’s was creepy as hell inside very eerie

I was born in Halifax 1972, my first house was in Mixenden. I still have a huge family in Mixenden. I moved to Ireland when I was ten and have been back to Mixenden a few times since then. Miss the beautiful views and I used to swim in the reservoir.

IF YOU PAUSE AT 3:08 TOP OF THE LAMP POST LOOKS LIKE A PAIR OF SCAREY EYES STAIRING AT YOU GHOST OF SOMEONE THAT WAS THERE AS A PAITENT MAY BE?

I worked in there late 70s.veey scary place.

Ruined by compressing the photographs down !!

As a Halifax Lad I'm bringing back the beers of Samuel Webster and Sons very soon

My dad & his mate were just coming past, returning from night school, when they heard the bomb dropping. There was a fire engine nearby - local volunteers - & likely old solders from ww1. They shouted to him to get down & they dived under the engine. After the bang, dad & Sam ( his mate) both ran for home in case there were any more bombs.

Are there papers relating to Carr having made alterations? The house is not Carr. As you say it, was Bradley, he copied Pye Nest , which was built by Carr for the Edwards family. I know of know reference to Carr having a hand in 'extending' the house. You've excited my curiosity, thanks.

The demolition should NEVER have been permitted along with many other Halifax' older buildings.

Superb historical photos. How could I get further information about some of them from you? Thanks in anticipation of your reply.

When I first met my wife she owned a flat in Dodge Home Court, one of the towers and we would sometimes drink in The Jumples. It was "interesting". A huge shame I didn't know any of this stuff in that brief period, as I have great interest in archaeology and medieval history...

Lived at No. 4 Calverts Row in the 60's. George the boilerman lived next door. Happy days.

You need to be a speed reader, to view all the information written. Slow it down abut so we can see where and what ,you’re trying to show. Very interesting though.

Very interesting, thank you. I have lived in Halifax all my life and never knew that Crossley and Porter started life as an orphanage.

Where was this situated

Thank you, apparently I am related to this family, that would make me the great ,great great great grand child

Сиротский приют, а выглядит как неприступная крепость

I just found your channel and there are many photos of halifax ive not seen before in your uploads!:)

Sadly neglected because the community does not value its history

When it was an approved school it was a very good school with good staff. My late wife was an assistant matron. It was a happy place and the boys profited from their time their

A shame you didn't mention it was once the home of the Halifax Junior Music School where many of our young musicians trained.

Great vlog. Memoirs of Friends, Branigan, Miles o Conner, Peter Firth, Mick Tag, Jeff Kidd, Darrel. we all went to JH Whitley School. first girl friends, my dreams of going to the Lake District camping on our motor bikes, Now i live in New Zealand and own a house in the Lakes. Such good memories

Sad outcome, nothing left to see on Google Earth. But thanks for sharing.

Very interesting and great photos! Thank you 😊

I say bring the Gibbet back. The USA needs it badly. it was way better than that awful electric chair which (I believe) was developed by Edison and Westinghouse. the men fought for control and development of the thing. the horrors of electrocuting people were sickening.

Execution for petty theft was more than a little excessive. Happily the folk of Halifax realized this...albeit after 400 years of gravity fueled fatalities.

This could still be turned into an incredible cycle way and there is government money

Absolutely rivetting! Thank you! As a huge fan of the Brontes, and Wuthering Heights in particular, I find everything about this incredible house utterly compelling. I wonder if there are more documents about the house's history to be found locally?

Great! Thank you. My first job after university was working in the "new" Mixenden. Hmmmm!!

A shame it was lost - rather like Elland Hall, but in that case, it was quite literally.

Short sightedness once again at it's finest.. we continue to make a mess of the foundations made by our ancestors. This being a prime example of infrastructure removed only for 50 years to pass for it to be wanted once more. This would cost tax payer millions to build nowadays should we attempt to rebuild it 😢

Brilliant thank you.

I live on the old Bracewell council estate on Bracewell Drive

its madness closing all these lines down all before beeching axe. It would be great If all these railways were still here. This was the start of the south destroying the North

very very interesting

as a Halifax lad just subbed

There were similar Barracks built in various parts of the country in the latter part of the 19th and very early part of 20th century. Ostensibly to house troops of a local regiment I think there was very little hiding their true purpose. That was to subdue the local population if ever there was civil disorder and industrial strife. Those rifle slits and custodial keeps were not for embellishment. After the first world war, when dynasties were falling as well as governments and the rise of marxism there was a very real fear of 'contamination'.

These days, if you want to see young men in Halifax rough brawling and being a danger to local women, just go to the Acca...

So all that stonework around the fountain is still there today?
