"A Pretty Well Built Town of
Stone"
Unlike neighbouring Leeds and Bradford where
repeated bombardment, capture and plague caused widespread damage
and suffering, Halifax at the end of the civil war was relatively
intact and began to grow into a commercial centre and busy market
town.
Living and working at this time in Halifax
were Drapers, Butchers, Tanners, Shoemakers, Glovers, Tailors,
Innkeepers and Apothecaries alongside Doctors, Lawyers, Scriveners
and Teachers. All making goods and providing services needed
by the inhabitants of the valley communities of Calderdale.
