Halifax Memories 28 - Off The Web

I have spent endless hours just following interesting websites that link to more pages and more until the initial subject I was following becomes a totally different subject.

Whilst we have several pages about historic Halifax subjects, we don't have the photograph collection as good as the website here. Fortunately we DO have the permission to use his photographs. Thank you for that Malcolm Bull
