Beneath Halifax’s grand stone towers and fiery red bricks, secrets of revolt, scandal, and invention are written into every street. This self-guided audio tour reveals the stories most wanderers miss, leading you through industrial legends, daring acts of rebellion, and the quiet corners where history once erupted.

Why did a single red-brick chapel threaten Halifax’s status quo? Who rests in the Minster with a diary so controversial it still stirs debate? What vanished machine at Calderdale Industrial Museum left its mark on the whole region?

Step into shadowy courtyards, past soaring steeples and iron-tinged air. Trace battles between tradition and progress. Feel the pulse of past ambition underfoot as Halifax reveals itself anew with each step and story.

If you’re ready to see beyond Halifax’s surface, press play—adventure is hidden in plain sight.
