Undated early 1970s (?)
This great view of the area around Halifax station is undated. A lot of track relaying is taking place and the platforms have track removed. A Class 03 shunter is the only locomotive visible. Halifax Parish Church is just off centre and Square Chapel Spire is clearly visible. The gas works have not yet gone. Probably mid to late 60s / early 1970s. Today the National Children's Museum Eureka! takes up the yard area.

The railway station, looking south. The signal box is no longer in use, decommissioned October 2018 after a major upgrade on the line. The departing train is heading to Braford (towards me). Beyond Shaw Lodge flats is visible First's Elmwood Garage. The industrial buildings behind the train are part of Nestle UK's Halifax site. This was formerly John Mackintosh's toffee works. As far as I know, Quality Street and Rolos are still made here. It used to be a treat standing on Halifax Station and smelling the toffee!
Nova Scotia. A bit of an experiment. The image was processed in DXO Optics Pro 10, exported as a DNG file, WB adjusted in Lightroom CC, then the image was resized twice at 110% in Photoshop. Finally the detail was increased in Topaz Adjust 5, giving a final image of 18mp from a 12mp file.

Another ex Rossendale vehicle, PO59MLL, placed with Team Pennine in Halifax. This was the last bus I photographed in Rossendale Transport ownership on the day of the changeover to Transdev - minutes before the changeover took effect.

Ex Tayside Citybus/RV G91PES is now owned by IOU Theatre in Halifax, converted principally for use as a mobile seating rake for outdoor performances. Today it is in use as Halifax's first (I think) City Sightseeing-ish tour bus. Uniquely, the passengers will enjoy a view of where they have just been, rather than where they are going!
This isn’t your typical perspective of the Old Town Clock on Citadel Hill in Halifax. The damp, overcast night created the perfect conditions for the clock's lights to radiate a soft, enchanting glow, giving the scene a timeless charm.
