The Assembly and Concert Rooms in Halifax were built in 1828 to a design by John Oates (1793-1831) and this illustration must be shortly after that. It also shows Holy Trinity Church. The Assembly Rooms were demolished in the 1890s. The Church closed in 1956.

Heavy rain today in Shibden but the sun is finally out. Grateful that the UK seems to miss the extreme temps on the whole. Feel for those suffering extreme heat in Europe and in the US at the moment
