Harry Facks: For anyone wanting to learn about Calderdale's past, “Trend of Things” is an Aladdin’s Cave of valuable information and photos. There’s something very satisfying about recognising a view from the past.
How these pages work: You’ll see a Courier photo of yesteryear, followed by the write-up and any extra clues I can find. At the bottom is the next photo subject for you to guess before you click through.
Page reference: Each page is numbered so you can quote it when adding your own information. Enjoy.

Exhibit 1: Warley Maypole (Evening Courier, 1958)
— then, enhanced, and compared with today.
Courier photo (Then): Evening Courier 1958 — Warley Maypole.
Enhanced: a clearer look—so the shapes, edges, and clues step forward.
Note: Sometimes a second version makes the “aha!” moment happen.
Today: the modern view—what’s changed, what’s survived, and what still gives the place away.
Next Page: A difficult one next… do you recognise it?
Harry’s challenge: Before you click… what’s your best guess?
Road name? Village? A landmark? Even a “near enough” memory helps.
