King-Cross

KING CROSS now part of Halifax was originally in the township of Skircoat. It is here that the road into Lancashire divides, one road going to Burnley via Hebden Bridge the other going to Littleborough via Sowerby Bridge. During the time of the English Civil War when Halifax was held by the Royalists King Cross was one of the outposts keeping watch on the road towards Heptonstall, which was held by Parliament. The intervening terrain was the site of a few local skirmishes.

Pubs

So many pubs have been lost over time in this area. With this being the home to a huge number of the working class people, there was a huge selection of pubs and clubs at one time but these have felt the effects of so many changes over the years. King Cross and Queens Street would have been a dream for a pub run at one time. The surviving pubs are listed below but any pubs you might remember from the past should be listed here.
