About Boothtown
Where to stay in Boothtown
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Halifax proper is minutes away. Boothtown is a residential suburb, and a bed here means quiet streets with Scout Hall and the Serbian Orthodox Church, Halifax nearer than any restaurant row, while the town's hotels sit down in the centre. Ovenden Hall marks the far side of the suburb.
If you are visiting Scout Hall or want a Calderdale base off the main streets of Halifax, Boothtown answers, though Town Ward carries housing rather than a hotel strip.
About Boothtown
What are the main landmarks in Boothtown?
Scout Hall is the name to know. The record puts Scout Hall, Ovenden Hall and Lee House among the buildings of Boothtown, with the Serbian Orthodox Church, Halifax and the Ovenden Methodist Church And Sunday School holding the church side of the list. Dam Head completes it.
Nothing here works as a museum quarter, so a visitor moves between named halls and church doors and takes the rest of the sights from the middle of Halifax.
What is the history of Boothtown?
Ward boundaries do the dating here. Boothtown falls within Town Ward, one of the 17 wards of Calderdale, and that administrative line is the firmest thing the record gives the suburb, since no founding year attaches to it. The halls carry the local names.
Scout Hall, Ovenden Hall, Lee House and Dam Head are what the written account fixes inside Boothtown, and Halifax and the county of West Yorkshire supply everything the suburb's own record leaves out.
