The gold lions were the supporters of Halifax, and one was the main charge in the arms of the Borough of Brighouse, from which are also taken the black crescents held in the lion's paws. Each lion is collared with a wave of blue like that in the arms of the Borough of Todmorden shield, where it alluded to the Calder. The motto refers to the special aptitudes of Calderdale, not only in woollen manufacture, but in all kinds of other trades and activities carried on in the area, including the pursuit of the arts. |
