In this video I will take you on a tour of Halifax
*The name of Halifax comes from the Old English halh-gefeaxe, meaning area of coarse grass in the nook of land. There are several other stories on how the town got its name but this one is the most accepted.
*The architect who designed Halifax Town Hall in 1863 was also responsible for designing the Houses of Parliament. The town hall was his last major commission and was completed a few years after his death.
*The city of Halifax in Canada takes its name from George Montagu-Dunk, second Earl of Halifax, for aiding the foundation of Nova Scotia in 1749. The Earl of Halifax originally took its name from our town.
Halifax has a long history of confectionery thanks to the Mackintosh who introduced toffees and later created Quality Street. The original shop was located at 53 King Cross Street, which was demolished in 1969.
