- Huddersfield is a market town in the Kirklees district in West Yorkshire, England. It is the administrative centre and largest settlement in the Kirklees district. The town is in the foothills of the Pennines. The River Holme's confluence into the similar-sized Colne is to the south of the town centre which then flows into the Calder in the north eastern outskirts of the town.
The rivers around the town provided soft water required for textile treatment in large weaving sheds, this made it a prominent mill town with an economic boom in the early part of the Victorian era Industrial Revolution. The town centre has much neoclassical Victorian architecture, one example is its railway station which is a Grade I listed building - described by John Betjeman as "the most splendid station façade in England" - and won the Europa Nostra award for architecture.
It hosts the University of Huddersfield and three colleges: Greenhead College, Kirklees College and Huddersfield New College. The town is the birthplace of rugby league with the local team, Huddersfield Giants, playing in the Super League. It also has a professional football team called Huddersfield Town, who currently compete in the Championship, as well as two Rugby Union clubs Huddersfield R.U.F.C. and Huddersfield YM RUFC. Notable people from the town include twice British Prime Minister Harold Wilson (for Labour), film star James Mason born in the town and Jodie Whittaker, the 13th actor to play Doctor Who, was born in Skelmanthorpe.
The town has been classed under Yorkshire, the West Riding of Yorkshire and West Yorkshire for statistics throughout its history. The town's population in 1961 was 130,652 with an increase to 162,949 at the 2011 census; it is in the West Yorkshire Built-up Area. The town is 14 miles (23 km) south-west of Leeds, 12 miles (19 km) west of Wakefield, 23 miles (37 km) north-west of Sheffield and 24 miles (39 km) north-east of Manchester.
Market town and manor
Huddersfield has been a market town since Anglo-Saxon times. The market cross is on Market Place.
The manor of Huddersfield was owned by long lease by the de Lacy becoming Lacey family until its 1322 takeback by the Crown. In 1599, William Ramsden bought it, and the Ramsden family continued to own the manor, which came to be known as the Ramsden Estate, until 1920. During their ownership they supported the development of the town.
Huddersfield from Castle Hill
Closest wooded uplands in the inner part of the town's green belt, the town centre and the crest of the Pennines to the west: semi-panorama from Castle Hill. Three converted neoclassical mill sheds are in the foreground. Sir John Ramsden, 3rd Baronet built the Huddersfield Cloth Hall in 1766 and his son the fourth baronet was responsible for Sir John Ramsden's Canal in 1780. The Ramsdens endorsed the railway in the first wave of national railway building, in the 1840s.
The town's population in 1961 had reached 130,652.
Per the United Kingdom Census 2001 the population of the town's urban sub-area of the West Yorkshire Urban Area was 146,234, and that of the former extent of the county borough was 121,620. The wider South Kirklees had a population of 216,011.

Most British cities were ruined by so-called regeneration efforts in the 60s and 70s. But Huddersfield seems reasonably intact, thankfully.
Thanks to visit

TV
How on earth did u even video me 16:45, am going to sue 😅
Having lived in huddersfield all my life i have seen this town get worse by the day , we have a lot of historic buildings and nice architecture , however this council of ours are letting this town go to ruin , they have just put 3 awful looking structures up on the main street , they look like giant beacons painted white , not heard a good word about them from anybody , what idiot on kirklees council gave this the go ahead , probably the one who decided to put a bike lane on high street which no one uses and faces the wrong way , i'm afraid huddersfield is going downhill fast
Your right and the crime rates have gone shocking.
Huddersfield in the 1960s was a busy popular town, one of the best in the whole of Yorkshire, a thriving town until Kirklees took over from Huddersfield corporation and started the decline of everything that the town stood for. Huddersfield is a very pale shadow of what it used to be .😢
Its sad to see how stolen cotton from India built all this. Now the stealing has stopped the town has rightly gone into decline.
Actually Huddersfield had nothing whatsoever to do with cotton. It was a mill town due to soft water and wool was its main staple.That is what we we famous for and built the town.
@stevedunn5546 that was in the 1700's after that textile took over
@@floatingpeaks4584 I was in the textile trade for 27 years in Huddersfield. Quality control management in two different Mills both of which were built in the mid 1700,s. No cotton only merino wool and cashmere from China. So please get your fasts straight before attacking England.
