Hi Paul,
would it be to much to hope for that you have access to the title deeds and  early ownerships of Scout Hall ?

Very interested
Dave

Hi, Paul ( and welcome to Rootschat!), and everyone else who has contributed to this thread,
First of all the article about my 5-times-gt-grandfather James KERSHAW was published in the Transactions of the Halifax Antiquarian Society Volume 16 for 2008: pages 41-66: "James Kershaw (1726-1797): the forgotten Halifax pioneer of Irish Methodism" by J.R.Wesley Weir.
And unfortunately I'm unable to get up to see Scout Hall before it is sold in September, but I'll PM you on here, Paul.  This has been a remarkable journey into my family's Yorkshire roots...
Very best wishes,
keith

Does anyone know if Scout hall, Shibden was sold at auction today?

Thanks for spotting that and putting it on here, Gemma,
And some pretty uncomplimentary remarks about the old building, too...

The location - next to Halifax council tip, must be a trifle off-putting

not as much as the fact it has neither roof nor windows.......floors......walls.......doors
it's a magnificent building - its called a 'calendar house' evidently and was built by a silk trader.
