As a group of volunteers, we started organising Town Hall, walking and bus tours to share Halifax heritage.
Witnessing interest in our heritage grow exponentially with the rejuvenation of the Piece Hall and an outburst in film and TV production as well as the abundance of other attractions, we saw the opportunity to support and increase people’s interest in our heritage.
We invite you to join us to explore Halifax across the ages, sample our tours, events and engage with us and our heritage connections.
Recalling and valuing our heritage to shape everyone’s future.
We truly believe that focussing on Heritage is pivotal for community wellbeing, cohesion and civic pride.
Importantly, heritage offers a resilient future for Calderdale, creating economic prospects and aspirations for generations to come.
Heritage is about the understanding of ‘Spirit’ of a place. It can mean different things to all of us, as individuals or together.
It is unique, a sense of family or community identity made up of our values, traditions, culture and artefacts handed down by previous generations.
Ours to enjoy now, preserve and pass on to following generations.
Heritage is made up of three areas:
· Tangible, such as historical sites, buildings, monuments, museums and artefacts
· Natural, including our waterways, landscapes and woodlands
· Intangible, being our customs, folklore, skills, traditions and memories
Together, these areas of Heritage give us a common language and understanding that helps us to communicate on a deeper level with each other and to express this in an engaging way to the world around us.
