  • This is a great place to come and visit, especially if the weather is not too good, mind you it is also brilliant if the weather is good.
    4 floors of everything from antiques, ethnic artifacts to garden furniture, nic nac's etc etc.
    You can mooch in here for a couple of hours, and don't be too supprised if you end up buying something.
    Even the kids will enjoy walking round Andy Thornton's.

    No visit to Halifax would be complete without seeing this gold mine of hidden gems.

     I have never really thought about Clay Pigeon shooting but it might well be worth coming along just for a piece of that Pork Pie, Great tips on Halifax.
