Halifax Civic Trust Awards have been made since 1992 to encourage high-quality design and craftsmanship in schemes in Halifax and the surrounding countryside.
Winning projects have included restored mills, the Peoples Park, houses, shops and warehouses, new schools, medical centres and housing, everything from a walled garden to a restored 240-year-old sundial.
Awards are given for high-quality new building, the reuse and restoration of old buildings, landscaping or any other work of a high standard which makes a significant improvement to the fabric of the town or countryside of Halifax and largely carried out or completed in the previous calendar year. Winners receive a certificate and a green plaque.
Recent winners have been the Former Magistrates Court and Police Station, Trinity Academy, Duke of Wellington’s Regimental Memorial, the former County Court converted to 14 much needed supported living apartments and the conversion of the former Magistrates Court to a Music Trust and Wellbeing Centre.
