General view, Halifax - DPC00507
General View, Halifax
The easiest feature to identify in this image is the clock tower of the Town Hall top left. The building which has Holdsworth Wool Merchants emblazoned on its front remains today as the Wool Merchant Hotel. The majority of the buildings in the centre, including the cooling towers (demolished in 1975) and the power station have all gone. Crossley's Carpets sign can just be seen top right. This is a very industrial scene from the early part of the 20th century and clearly shows the huge number of mills, factories and chimneys which were a common sight at the time of this photograph.

Halifax from Beacon Hill - DPC00501
General View, Halifax
This view over the town is vastly different today. The number of chimneys seen here look really incongruous , but would have been entirely natural when this image was taken. The tower of the Square Church can be seen in the centre with the long, straight length of Horton Street leading to the railway station to the left of the tower. The buildings bottom centre are what was Mackintosh's Toffee works. There was always a very sweet smell on the station platforms from the factory for passengers awaiting trains. The Parish Church is on the right; note the large number of airway goods trucks in the sidings.

Much of the views in this image are largely unchanged today, although Commercial Street and Bull Green have lost the buildings on the left. These were replaced in the 1930s with a more contemporary architectural style. The view to the station is little changed.

Halifax from Beacon Hill - DPC00431
General View, Halifax
This view is very different today, the main thing being the number of chimneys that have gone, along with many of the mills. The Piece Hall can be seen top centre and the clock tower of the town hall can be seen top right. The quantity of rolling stock in the goods yard is remarkable and the platforms of the railway station can be seen centre left.
