Some more views of Halifax

Halifax is an industrial Pennine town to the south west of Bradford in West Yorkshire's Bronte Country.

Although not directly associated with the Brontes, the town centre of Halifax contains some interesting buildings including the Piece Hall (which featured in the film "Brassed Off" starring Pete Postlethwaite and Ewan MacGregor) and is home of the Halifax Gibbet - an English guillotine used to dispense capital punishment long before the device used in the French Revolution was invented. Other things to see and do in and around Halifax include Dean Clough and Eureka - a popular children's attraction.

Adjoining Halifax is the smaller town of Sowerby Bridge and the village of Luddunden Foot, where Branwell Bronte worked for a short period as station master.

Also nearby is the village of Southowram, where Emily Bronte taught for a while at Law Hill House. It was there that she is believed to have gained inspiration for her novel "Wuthering Heights"...

Other nearby attractions include Shibden Hall and Ogden Water - a popular local beauty spot.
