The quest
A two-minute stop at Alderney Cairn. One date off the metal. Then back to the sidewalk.
Steps
- Stand on public ground at Alderney Cairn.
- Read the plaque. Copy one date and one name.
- Leave. Do not climb it.
Why this is on the board
Alderney Cairn (on Windmill Road, east of centre, Halifax) is how this part of Halifax remembers something. You get one date and one name — a piece of the street that does not show up in a listicle.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
