Halifax is a minster town, which at last census had a population of around 80 000 residents. Apart from the obvious links to the bank Halifax PLC, which is now part of the Lloyds Banking Group, Halifax is well known for its production of Chocolate and Confectionery which started with the entrepreneurial skills of John Mackintosh, "the Toffee King" in 1890, and has passed down to his son, Harold who expanded it to its present size, encompassing famous brands such as Rolo, Toffee Crisp and Quality Street. In 1988 the company was taken over by Nestle.

Did you know?

Halifax, meaning "holy flax", appears as the town's name in very early records, with the second "l" being lost by the linguistic process of dissimilation. Conveyancing often involves pouring over the text of old documents, and names on titles for these can be misspelt - hardly a surprise that Solicitors Conveyancing in Halifax appreciate this trivia.
