I took this photo of the Ring O'Bells pub in Halifax over 50 years ago. You can tell it's old, not because its a black and white photo (there are filters that can fake that), nor because the building is old (it's even older now). ....

A few of us got together Tuesday morning to dress our tree for the Halifax Minster Christmas Tree festival - 29th Nov to 2nd Dec. As well as traditional baubles & tinsel our decorations included handmade ornaments & a (plastic) skull to top the tree. A big thank you to all concerned.

I took this photo of the Lloyds Halifax Bank headquarters in 2018, and I had to go back to the original image to check that I hadn't enhanced it. These days, you can dial up a flock of birds from numerous AI image generators, but this flock is the real thing: Halifax birds against a Halifax sky.

Does anyone know what happened to our information board about the Wakefield Gate just above Matalan. It's been RIPPED down its MISSING & this sign put in its place. Our fund raising & work gone to ruin and what for? Surely we could have shared the wall? If you can help please DM.
