The Lloyds building, Halifax

Monday 7th September 2026, 9.30am (day 5,492)

Lloyds building, 7/8/26

This used to be the HQ of the Halifax, a building society that sold out to corporate capital a few years ago and is now owned by Lloyds. This office building dominates the town centre (of Halifax, in case you hadn’t grasped that point) and is a real 1970s architectural relic, a kind of mix between the Parallax View and Logan’s Run if you ask me. The reflected tree seems to be taking over, and no one actually seems to work there, particularly — people cannot be seen.

Lloyds TSB Bank, Hebden Bridge

Tuesday 29th July 2013, 5.20pm (day 705)

Lloyds bank, 30/7/13

If I’m to keep this blog going, and non-repetitive, I will have to keep finding new slants on the familiar territory of my home town. Particularly at the moment, where I am spending days on end just sat in my office at home, writing the first draft of the book. So here we go, one of the town’s stranger buildings I think. For some reason this shot looks like it might be taken in the USA, the architecture just has that look to it, I can almost see old trams running down the street too (as they used to, a century ago). Here, for once, I don’t think the phone wires detract from the shot.
