Halifax Control Zone

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm referring to Halifax, Yorkshire, not Nova Scotia.

Does anybody know when this area of airspace was created, when it was discontinued and who the controlling authority was ? It would have been about halfway between Leeds Bradford and Manchester airports so I guess either ATC unit might have had a stake in it's running. Or it might have been Preston Radar's responsibility. I really know very little about it. It's featured in a book by Captain Peter Crook called Airports UK; this book was published around 1983 and I'm fairly certain the Halifax CTZ didn't exist by then!

Thankyou.
