History of Calderdale Townships

It has been suggested that people away from Calderdale have not been given enough information about the townships in the old parish of Halifax, which, effectively, covers the whole of Calderdale.

The table below gives the URLs of various sites that give a detailed of the township concerned.    These may not necessarily be the most authoratitive descriptions &, in a few cases only take you to the Halifax Antiqurian site, which is an excellent site in its own right.

Click on the link that you wish to follow on the table below.

Some are clearly commercial sites, so further information can be gleaned

by purchasing the product concerned.
The townships with https://www.halifaxhistory.org.uk/ refer to Halifax Antiquarian Society

who may be able to help in the absence of other sites.
