Bankfield Museum is well worth a visit. Situated in the village of Akroydon, a Victorian model village, the museum tells the story of Halifax and its rich history.
A Museum since 1887, Bankfield tells the story of Halifax and Calderdale, using its rich and diverse collections. Set in the attractive surroundings of Akroyd Park, at the centre of Akroydon model village conservation area, this Victorian mansion was the home of local mill owner, philanthropist and MP, Colonel Edward Akroyd. We are a short distance from the centre of Halifax, with free parking and close to public transport links. Bankfield's exhibitions cover local history, costume, art, toys, military history, jewellery and textiles from around the world. Our collections contain objects from Ancient Egypt through to the 21st Century as we continue to collect and preserve items for future generations

It has a section devoted to the Duke of Wellington's Regiment and lots of local based displays too. The toy section is most interesting.
