Welcome to Malcolm Bull's Calderdale Companion


In my Calderdale Companion, you'll find a collection of Trivia, Miscellaneous Facts, and some interesting information about Halifax and the Calderdale district of West Yorkshire, England

The website began as a medium for me to record notes which I made whilst reading local history and family history sources, notes which I thought that others may find interesting. It is not intended to be a serious research tool.


Please remember that you get the Calderdale Companion completely free, and there really is no point in emailing to ask me for further information or photographs relating to any topic ... what you see here is all that I have, and all that I know! Indeed, if I did know any more, why would I not include it here? And, if I did know any more but do not include it here, why would I tell you?

I now receive so many emails from people asking for (and expecting) more information & copies of photographs on the website, that I can no longer afford to waste my time in dealing with them. In most cases, these requests come without any mention of offering information in return for their pleas. In future, any such emails will be ignored without response, no matter how entitled you may feel you are.

Because of copyright & ownership issues, the extra work involved, and the constant assumption that all photos are available in a selection of formats and resolutions, I can no longer supply copies of any of the photos which are used on the Calderdale Companion, whether for private use or for publication.

I do not record all the sources for the information – because this was taking up too much disk space – and the website is not intended to be a serious research tool, nor a short-cut for the lazy researcher. Indeed, it would be foolish to take information from this or any other website without doing your own research to verify all your information (ideally from primary sources).

Please note also that I cannot respond to specific genealogical enquiries – I am not a free research tool! nor am I here to teach you how to carry out your research! There are lots of books and other sources telling you how do your own research and what resources are available.

All this may sound harsh, but access to the website is free ... why should you expect more?

If you should wish to add information to my website, please have a quick look at the page on Submitting information to the Calderdale Companion before you do.
