Halifax Town Hall and Borough Market Survey

Just before Christmas, Bauman Lyons and Built Heritage Consultancy undertook a survey of the Halifax Town Hall and Borough Market on behalf of Calderdale Council.

Both Victorian buildings are Grade II* Listed. The Town Hall by Sir Charles Barry, who also designed the Houses of Parliament, features many grand spaces including a magnificent central hall. The market, though less opulent, has an interesting perimeter condition formed by first floor level terrace housing, creating elevated streets that look on to the market below.

We are looking forward to discovering more about these great buildings in the new year.
