HX4 POSTCODE REGION

Halifax (HX4)

The HX4 postcode area is located in the Halifax postcode town region, within the county of West Yorkshire, and contains a total of 511 individual postcodes.

There are 39 electoral wards in the HX4 postcode area, including Elland, Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Sowerby Bridge which come under the local authority of the Calderdale Council.

Combining the whole postcode region, 28% of people in HX4 are classed as having an AB social grade, (i.e. 'white-collar' middle-upper class), compared to 27% across the UK.

This does not mean that the people of HX4 are wealthier - or higher class - than average, but it can be an indication that the area may be prospering and desirable to live in.


HX4 is a postcode district covering the south western outskirts of Halifax in West Yorkshire. The area is composed of primarily residential areas, but there are industrial estates near the postcode boundary, and some retail and leisure developments along the A58.

The area was first developed in the 1950s as part of the 'Back-to-Back Garden Suburb' following the Second World War. Much of the housing stock was demolished in the 1990s and replaced with modern housing developments, as well as retail and commercial units.

The area is served by a variety of public transport options, including bus routes, taxis, and rail services which run between Halifax and Manchester. Some of the main roads in the area are the A58, which runs through the north-west of the district, and the A644, which runs along the southern edge of the postcode.

HX4 is served by both the Calderdale Royal Hospital and Brighouse and Rastrick Primary Care Centre, located in neighbouring districts. The area also has several primary and secondary schools, such as Haugh Shaw Primary School and The Brooksbank School.

The area is home to two well known residential parks: Hollas Crossley Park and Harris Park. Both parks feature former industrial and agricultural land that has been converted into local nature reserves, providing ideal places for walkers, cyclists, and horse riders.

HX4 is also well known for its parks and green spaces, such as Gibbet Moor, Hollas Crossley and Deasang fields, and the Shibden Valley Park. These parks offer a wide range of recreational facilities, which include a number of playgrounds, playing fields, and cafes.

In the past few decades, the area has become an increasingly attractive area to live, work, and spend leisure time. It is in close proximity to well-connected major roadways, and is served by a range of high quality public transport links, making it easy to access the rest of West Yorkshire and Lancashire.
