Woolshops: The Story (History Documentary, Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK)

This film tells the story of Woolshops from its mediaeval beginnings to the situation in the 1970s, when it was at risk of destruction. Hear the voices of people who remember Woolshops before it was redeveloped and consider the impact a covered shopping mall would have had, removing all traces of history from the area. Halifax Civic Trust opposed the scheme and challenged the Council, taking great financial risks to do so. The case was heard in January 1979. We have in the film two people who were active at the time, a Planning Officer, and the Hon Sec of the Halifax Civic Trust, their chief witness. How fortunate we are that we can capture the memories of the people who were involved in this dramatic struggle. Our film was put together entirely in-house by members of the Halifax Civic Trust. Those who love the town that they live in today will be fascinated to know how much of it might have been lost under a monolithic concrete shopping mall. Halifax Civic Trust is a charity that celebrates, enhances and safeguards Halifax's built and natural environment.
