Halifax nostalgia: Looking back at Pancake Day across Calderdale over the years

To mark the annual event we’re taking a look at Shrove Tuesday in Calderdale over the years.

See if you can spot anyone you know.

The tradition of marking the start of Lent through Shrove Tuesday has been documented for centuries.

By the late Middle Ages, the celebration of Shrovetide lasted until the beginning of Lent and it was common in many societies to indulge in pancakes or other foods made up of butter, eggs and fat that people would give up for Lent.

The traditional pancake eating ritual amongst British Christians on Shrove Tuesday dates back to the 16th century.
