INTRODUCTION

Dear Reader,

There is something rather thrilling about the rumble of wheels on cobbles, the hiss of steam, or the gentle splash of canal waters, wouldn't you agree? As your Victorian guide through Halifax's remarkable transport heritage, I invite you to join me on a journey that traces how our beloved town has moved its people and goods through the centuries.

From the winding packhorse trails that first connected our hillside communities to the mighty railways that thundered through our valleys, Halifax's transport story is one of innovation, determination, and transformation. Within these pages, you'll discover:

  • The ancient packhorse routes that first connected our communities
  • The canal network that fueled our industrial growth
  • The railway revolution that transformed our landscape
  • The tram system that once rattled through our streets
  • The evolution of road transport from horse to motor
  • The bridges that span our valleys and connect our hills

Remember, dear reader, every journey we take today follows routes established by generations past, and every modern road, rail or path has its own fascinating story to tell.

Your faithful guide along historic ways,

Harry Facks
