INTRODUCTION
Dear Reader,
Step with me into the fascinating world of Halifax's commercial heritage, where every shop doorway tells a tale and each trade directory unveils a mystery. As your Victorian guide through the entrepreneurial spirit of our beloved town, I've discovered stories of innovation, determination, and sometimes spectacular failure.
From the grand emporiums of Northgate to the humble corner shops of Industrial Halifax, these businesses shaped not just our economy, but our very way of life. Within these pages, you'll discover:
- Family dynasties that dominated Halifax trade
- Lost shops that once defined our streets
- Innovation that changed industry
- The rise and fall of Halifax's merchant princes
- Hidden trade secrets and forgotten crafts
- Stories of survival through economic turbulence
Remember, dear reader, behind every shop window lies a story of human endeavor, and within every ledger book rests a tale of Halifax enterprise.
Your faithful guide through commerce past, Harry Facks
