Southowram 

Beaconplaque

Southowram is a village and a township within the ancient parish of Halifax bounded on the south by the river Calder and on the east by the township of Hipperholme-cum-Brighouse. Part of the township was incorporated into Halifax when the Borough was created in 1848.

Lying within the Halifax chapelry there is a chapel of ease situated in the village of Southowram dedicated to St. Anne in the Grove. Southowram was and still is an important quarrying area and a perusal of last century’s census returns will bear this out with almost the whole of the male population of Southowram village being employed in the industry.

This blog is updated regularly and is a collection of anything I find that has a connection with the area. Everyone is invited to add their own articles and information but there will be a small charge for any advertising.

I hope you enjoy these pages and return regularly to see any added material.
