High Street

In the 60's I went to the comp school which was up a few floors and at the back of Halifax chambers, which would have been the old frontage one. I can just about remember walking through eerie empty corridors and rooms to get there. Looking out of the window at the back we could see the kitchens of the Craven Arms as the Bear was then. I recall (I am going back a long long way) lots of old buildings and roofs between the two places, we used to talk to the junior chefs in our break time and when we told them it was one of the girl's birthday in a few days (one of them was trying to chat her up) they made her a birthday cake and brought it across the roof. So at that time the rear of the buildings were still quite old.
