Welcome to Malcolm Bull's Calderdale Companion

In my Calderdale Companion, you'll find a collection of Trivia, Miscellaneous Facts, and some interesting information about Halifax and the Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, England

The website began as a medium for me to record notes which I made whilst reading local history and family history sources, notes which I thought that others may find interesting. It is not intended to be a serious research tool; indeed, I do not do any specific research for the website, and any one person or entity is no more important to me than any other.

The Calderdale Companion is aimed at:

• Anyone with an interest in the local history of the Halifax and Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, no matter whether as an active pursuit or as an armchair enthusiasm

• Tourists who are visiting or intend to visit the beautiful Calderdale district – you might be interested in our entries on Calderdale for Motorists, and Things to see in Calderdale

• Anyone with recent or distant roots and links with this part of the world – for this group of readers, I have included a number of historical entries and information which might otherwise be inaccessible to overseas visitors

• Anyone who already lives in Halifax and Calderdale and wants to know just that bit more about what's all around them

• Anyone who is tracing their family tree and needs some explanation of the terms and the terminology which they encounter in old documents

• Anyone who is fascinated by local and historical trivia

• Anyone who wants an explanation of the terms which are likely to be encountered when reading the works of the Brontës, Anne Lister's journals, or other pre-20th century works

• Anyone who knows anything – about Halifax, Calderdale, the people or the places – which seems interesting to them and which is hard to find. I am particularly aware that many older people have memories and stories which should be recorded ... before it's too late

• Anyone who just wants to settle – or start – an argument in the pub
