King Cross is an ecclesiastical parish in West Yorkshire, England, created in 1845 within the Metropolitan Borough of Calderdale. The parish sits on the top of a ridge above the town of Halifax and is part of the Diocese of Wakefield. The A58 road into Lancashire divides here, with one fork, the A646, branching off towards Burnley via Hebden Bridge and the other going to Littleborough via Sowerby Bridge. During the English Civil War, when Halifax was a Royalist stronghold, King Cross was a key outpost, with the Parliamentarians holding parts of the Calder Valley. The locality’s name originates from an ancient stone cross that once stood on the site. The postal district HX 1 situates it within the broader Halifax area.
