King Cross history
St Paul’s, built in 1847, is notable for its acoustics and unusual stained glass west window. During the First English Civil War (1642–1646) Halifax was a Royalist stronghold, with King Cross as a key outpost, on the roads between Lancashire and West Yorkshire, with the Parliamentarians holding parts of the Calder Valley.
Cricket
The King Cross Cricket Club was formed in 1878 by the Young Men’s Class at the King Cross Wesleyan School. Before moving to the Ramsden Ground in Upper Kingston in 1900, the club played at Savile Park Moor. The club’s pavilion at West View was known as Duck House.
King Cross Prize Band
At some point in the late 1800s, a brass band, conducted by Arthur Peace, was formed in the parish. Little is known of its history but it was known to have taken part in local band competitions. It appeared at a command performance for Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace.
King Cross police sub-station
The foundation stone was laid on 15 September 1910 and the station opened in May 1911. The Latin motto: “Ignorance of the law excuses no-one” was over the entrance. Following redevelopment in 1973, the building was demolished.
Wainhouse tower
Wainhouse Tower is the tallest structure in Calderdale and the tallest folly in the world. It is 253 feet (77 m) high and externally 275 feet (84 m), being built on sloping ground. The tower is maintained by Calderdale Borough Council and open to visitors.
