The History of Shaw House, Shaw Hill, Halifax

Shaw House, Halifax in 1918

Shaw House - the property enclosed by Shaw Lane, Gaukroger Lane and Simmonds Lane, was bought by private treaty in 1871.

The land was sold to the local borough council in the 1960’s and a tower block was erected on the site.

Prior to its sale, the house was occupied by Dr. Joe Laycock, Patricia Mary (Paddy, née Holdsworth) and their family, Pat, Deidre and Gillian. The family moved in the 1960's to live above the medical practice at Park Road Surgery, Halifax.
