You may be surprised to hear that Halifax has got some items of interest. I'd heard good reviews of <a href="https://www.thepiecehall.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Piece Hall</a> and <a href="https://www.deanclough.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dean Clough</a>. Nick and Val said Halifax Town Hall was also worth a visit.

This wasn't forecast so we waited for it to abate  before venturing to the Pay &amp; Display machine. Once inside we realised what a vast building each of the mills were. At one time it was the home of Crossley Carpets, one of the largest carpet makers in the world.

Just beyond reception were a number of galleries and of course the inevitable shop. After a stroll around <a href="https://www.deanclough.com/?event=michael-rothenstein-exploding-the-boundaries" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michael Rothenstein</a> exhibition (quite menacing) we went for a coffee where they charged Mary 50p for extra hot water so she could water down her coffee - never experienced that before.

Upstairs there were a corridor upon corridor of offices and down the corridors were art works - what a wonderful place to work. My favourite pieces were by <a href="https://www.deanclough.com/?event=pierrette-vergne-the-art-of-paper" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pierrette Vergne</a>. These were all made from coloured paper, quite unique.
