Description:Excerpt from Transactions of the Yorkshire Dialect Society, Vol. 4 The parish of Halifax is a natural, well-defined portion of the West Riding. It practically embraces the whole area drained by the Calder, and tributaries, issuing above the eastern boundaries of Brighouse and Rastrick, and covers 129 square miles. Its altitude above sea-level ranges from 200ft. at Brighouse to 1573ft. at Dove Stones, Wadsworth. The Calder enters at Todmorden, Hows north-east to Hebden Bridge, then curves to a south-easterly direction, and, after a course of about sixteen miles, leaves the parish at Anchor Pit, a little below Brighouse. This main river divides its drainage area, in this district, into two almost equal halves. Numerous tributaries, north and south, have cut deep lateral valleys and deans; these, in turn, have each their lateral beck, and clough streams, and so on, until the ultimate springs on the hill sides and tops are reached. The wearing down of these continuous valleys, deans, and cloughs has produced a remarkable series of intervening hills. To seek the primary cause of these varied physiographical features we must go back to a remote geological period. Countless ages an extensive area, including this portion of Yorkshire, formed part of a large estuary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
