New Bank

A Memory of Halifax.

When I was a small child I was taken to my aunt and uncle's house at 59 New Bank, Halifax - this was a house over shops. The house was one up and down with gas lighting and a cellar and also an attic room (where visitors slept). I remember being very interested in the view from the "balcony" - we could see the OBJ from the brewery and at night the town was lit up. Despite the fact that my aunt and uncle's house was in a slum clearance area, I loved staying there. Now the Burdock Way and the flyover has obliterated all I remember.
