Harrys Last Orders
Good evening, dear friends! Harry Facks here, and I'm delighted to welcome you to my cozy corner of Halifax history - Harry's Last Orders. Pull up a chair, order your favorite tipple, and let's journey through time to explore the fascinating stories of Halifax's historic public houses.
You see, every old pub in Halifax has a tale to tell - from the whispered secrets in snug corners to the raucous laughter that once echoed through these hallowed halls. As your Victorian guide to Halifax's hidden history, I've had the pleasure (purely for research purposes, mind you! winks) of documenting the remarkable stories of our town's drinking establishments, both past and present.
Here's what you'll discover in our pub-themed adventures:
🍺 "Last Orders" - Tales of disappeared pubs that once graced our streets 🍺 "A Pub Crawl Through Time" - Walking tours of historic pub locations 🍺 "Behind the Bar" - Stories of memorable landlords and local characters 🍺 "Hidden Histories" - Secret tunnels, smugglers' tales, and mysterious happenings
Whether you're interested in:
- The architectural heritage of our Victorian gin palaces
- The social history of Halifax's working-class watering holes
- The characters who called these establishments home
- Or simply fancy a good yarn over a virtual pint
So, dear readers, shall we raise a glass to Halifax's pub heritage? Each week, I'll share a new story, complete with historical photographs, newspaper clippings, and fascinating facts about our town's drinking history.

Remember, every old pub is a chapter in our town's story, and I'm here to make sure these tales aren't lost to time. So get comfortable, and let's begin our journey through Halifax's pub history, one story at a time.
Your faithful guide through time (and taverns), Harry Facks 🎩
