12 pictures from Halifax town centre as shops reopens today

Halifax town centre businesses flung open doors today for the first time in just under three months.

Many shoppers said being the town centre today gave them a sense of normality after spending nearly three months in lockdown.

But the overall consensus was business was definitely back in Calderdale as shops and stores opened to the public for the first time since closing due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Lorna Morris, 74, said: "It's nice to socialise again.

"There's a lot of queuing in the sun, and unfortunately most of the toilets aren't open to the public, but it's been very positive."

Abdul Sadiq, 41, said: "This seems like a step forward back into normality.

"There's only so much you can do at home and I think everyone will appreciate the smaller things in life, such as walking into their favourite shops without restrictions."
