George Street - much narrower then than now (2013). Much of the property on the left here was demolished in the 1930s and rebuilt after the war in the 1950s. The re-building left the street much wider and with gardens in front of the new shops/offices. This led to the street becoming known as George Square in the 1950s and for a while it became the centre point of the town, with many young people meeting up here before going out.

Bull Green House was built on this site in 1930s. It was a pioneering venture built in a modern 30s architectural style and was split between office and retail use. In the 1960s the local Children's Department was based here, followed by Social Services Department. Nowadays (2013) much of the building is occupied by Pennine Housing, the local social housing agency. Back in the 1960s, Bull Green House was home to one of Halifax's Chinese restaurants - the Kam Lin. What an adventure that was!
