India Buildings, Halifax

Church Street / Horton Street. A massive block of offices and warehouses built in 1861 – opposite the newly-opened railway station – as the offices and wool-warehouse for James Riley. The name was probably given because of trading links with the Far East.

In 1871, most of the building was taken by cigar manufacturer Alfred Bottomley.

In July 1895, Bottomley, hired a plumber to work at the top of the building. The man noticed that the cornice was cracked. Bottomley reported this to the owner, Jeremiah Ingham.

On 16th October 1895, the overhanging cornice – estimated to weigh 200 tons – fell from the top of the building, crashing into Church Street below. The impact cracked a gas main, causing an explosion which completely destroyed one of the houses on Church Street. The only victim was William Holroyd, Alfred Bottomley's coachman, who had just dropped his employer outside the building and was waiting in the street when the masonry crashed down on him, his carriage and his horse. A search party found Holroyd's mutilated body, and that of the horse. The coachman's watch was cracked and it had stopped at 6:05 pm.

28-year-old Mary Jane Swithenbank, of Olive Mount, Trooper Lane, was grazed when she was knocked down by a stone, and her aunt, Mrs Crowther, of Summergate Street, Parkinson Lane, who was with her, was also slightly injured. Thousands attend Holroyd's funeral at Saint Paul's Church, King Cross, where the ceremony paid for by Bottomley. A charitable fund was set up for Holroyd's family.

Other occupants of the building have included Hinchliffe & Wood [1874], John Lewis [1874], Lawson Saville [1891, 1905], and Joshua Smithson [around 1900].

In 1979, Colin Jeffreys bought the building and opened the Furniture City superstore [1981].

The building was put up for sale [2003].

There were proposals to convert it to shops, apartments, bars and restaurant [May 2005]
