Mixenden is a district of Halifax, Calderdale, in the county of West Yorkshire, England. It lies on the outskirts of the town.
The name Mixenden derives from the Anglo Saxon 'mixen' (compost or dung heap) and 'den' usually refers to pasture land, usually for pigs.
History
During the 1970s, after the building of tower blocks in Mixenden, social problems and unemployment led to a tarnished reputation. Although much has been done to regenerate the area, its isolation from other neighbourhoods and its position, 3 miles (5 km) north-west of Halifax, continues to contribute to a social separation from the rest of Calderdale.
Currently in Mixenden there is a primary school split across two sites, three newsagents with off licences, one launderette, one fish and chip shop, two pizza/Indian takeaways, one Chinese takeaway, two sandwich shops, a library, a council-funded activity centre and a doctors' surgery (Caritas Group Practice Mixenden).
There are also numerous public children's play areas that are maintained by Calderdale Council.
Mixenden Reservoir
To the north-west of the village is a large reservoir that is maintained by Yorkshire Water.[1]
