Title - Halifax Cine and Video Club Presents Scrapbook 87 Sign - Union St. South The street is roped off for road work and there are two children by the safety tape. Construction workers and vehicles are around the site as well as a smashed up red van which has been pulled off to one side. The next portion of the film begins with a city street lined on either side with crowds of people with policemen overseeing the event. Many children have turned out and are waving Union Jack flags. A number of official government-looking cars pull up to a building. Prince Charles gets out of one of the cars and enters the building. The proceedings then move to the Piece Hall where there are more people of Halifax waiting to greet him. The Prince shakes members of the crowd's hands over top of the barriers which are holding them back. Sign - The Site for the New Halifax Bus Station - Danger Deep Excavations The site is under construction and can be seen with various construction vehicles and materials.

After becoming the first ever winners of the Yorkshire Cup in 1878, Halifax went on to win on four other occasions. The club moved into their previous home of Thrum Hall in 1886 where they remained for the next 112 years. In 1998 they moved into the re-developed Shay Stadium which they share with the Halifax Football Team. Halifax was a founding member of the Rugby League in 1895, and in 1902-3 they won the Challenge Cup and finished top in Division One. Additionally, they were the first ever Championship Play-off winners in 1906-7. When the Challenge Cup Final was taken to Wembley in 1929, Halifax became one of the first teams to win beating York in the 1931 final. They have since been to Wembley six more times, winning in 1939 and 1987. Their last appearance there was in 1998 when they lost to Wigan.]
