About Pellon
Where to stay in Pellon
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Rooms mean a trip into Halifax. Pellon is housing, and the practical plan is a base in the town with a walk out to Christ Church and Ovenden Wood Road once the day is clear. Yew Trees rewards the detour.
Visitors wanting a choice of beds and somewhere to eat will find both in Halifax, and coming back out here takes little from the day.
About Pellon
What are the main landmarks in Pellon?
Christ Church carries the district. It is the single public landmark recorded for Pellon, and the only other entry is Yew Trees on Ovenden Wood Road, a house carrying a tree name rather than a family one. Two names, then, and no more.
A visit works better as a walk between them than as a list to tick, since the interest here is the ordinary fabric a district keeps rather than a monument at its centre.
What is the history of Pellon?
The dates have not survived. Nothing in the record fixes when Pellon began, and its past has to be taken from two survivals: Christ Church, which stands for the church strand, and Yew Trees, the older house on Ovenden Wood Road. Halifax supplies the rest of the story.
What is written down for the district is short, so the town's own history carries most of the weight and Pellon appears within it rather than beside it.
Where is Pellon?
Halifax surrounds it. Pellon covers a stretch of the town's housing, with Ovenden Wood Road among its addresses and Christ Church standing among the houses.
