The town of Halifax is full of magnificent buildings designed by famous
architects such as Sir Charles Barry, John Carr, Sir George Gilbert
Scott and other buildings designed by the town's own talented
architects. The town has altered quite dramatically during the last 150
years. Some of the earlier views dating from the Victorian period would
be unrecognisable without more recent pictures to compare against.
Changes to transport from the days of horse and carts, to trams and
motorisation have brought other more noticeable changes in terms of
traffic schemes and street signs in abundance and of course, the 'one
way systems'. Halifax Through Time brings these changes to life
contrasting the 'old' and 'new' and if the reader was so inclined, by
following the structured sequence of photographs, provides a fascinating
reference for a stroll around the town.
