Boothtown is a suburb of Halifax, West Yorkshire, England.
Boothtown is situated on the A647 road from Halifax to Bradford. It was on this road that Percy Shaw came up with the idea of cat's eyes as an aid to road safety.[citation needed] Boothtown falls within the Town Ward of Calderdale.
Boothtown includes Akroydon, a Victorian model housing scheme which was designed in the Gothic style by George Gilbert Scott in 1859 for the workers at the mills of Edward Akroyd. Akroyd's former home in Boothtown, now the Grade II listed Bankfield Museum and library, also houses the Regimental museum of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. [1]
The longest running Boys' Brigade Company in Calderdale is based at Boothtown.[citation needed]
