Half A Walk



I'm inviting you to come and take a walk around Halifax in the 1930 courtesy of an old picture postcard from my collection. Or rather, half a picture postcard - the image is so full of fascinating detail I have divided it into two and you can see the second half tomorrow. You can start your walk at the station (centre-left) and work you way through the soot-black streets to the unmistakable Piece Hall. Enjoy!
