Berry Lane
Above- The road where the wagon is coming from is Berry Lane. This leads around to Mackintoshes and then changes to Bailey Hall Road which leads on Swan Bank Lane to Swan Bank, Caddy Field and Stoney Royd areas at the bottom of Trooper Lane.
Beerhouses along this road included:-
T' Cat I' Th' Window - 8/10 Lower Kirkgate
Dublin Arms (aka Wagon and Horses) - 7 Berry Lane. It closed in 1905.
Cat I'th Window stood at 8/10 Lower Kirkgate, where the entrance to Matalan carpark is. If you walked up the left side of the picture you would be walking below the bottom of the Halifax Minster grounds.
The cross is where Dublin Arms was
