Over the years, Calderdale has been home to a huge number of eccentric, creative and enterprising people of interest.
Our 'Glimpses' can only offer a small insight to a few of these.
Amongst these are:
- Anne Lister, who inherited Shibden Hall in 1813.
- Ted Hughes, the poet, born in Mytholmroyd.
- John Frederick Bateman, the engineer and builder of several local reservoirs.
