This picture postcard dates from 1918 and is entitled "Picturesque Halifax" although I am not convinced the five photographs live up to that billing. Maybe it is the sepia patina, maybe it is changing perceptions of what is "picturesque", I find it difficult, however, to get excited by Cote Hill or Ogden Reservoir. To celebrate Yorkshire Day, I have tried to update the card to feature my five illustrations of picturesque Halifax. Here is the final version, along with the five individual views.
