Moving to Huddersfield?

There has been some sort of settlement at Huddersfield for over four thousand years. Roman historians wrote about the fierce Brigante tribe that lived up on the hilltops and the Roman army took quick action to dilute the threat of this most powerful of nations by sending all captured warriors to the other end of the Empire, replacing them with soldiers from Breuch in modern day Hungary. After the Romans withdrew in 418 the area was left at the mercy of Pict and Scottish invaders. The locals turned to the Angles for help and were subjugated by them in turn. Huddersfield suffered again after the Norman Conquest, when a rebellion against William I in York was followed by brutal reprisals against the whole of the north.

The town again became a centre of unrest during the Industrial Revolution. Although the technological advances made at this time were to benefit Huddersfield substantially in the long run, when the new machines were brought in in the seventeenth century many local weavers faced losing their livelihood. The Luddites began destroying mills and machinery in response, focusing many of their attacks on Huddersfield’s Rawfords Mill, whose owner had a reputation for cruelty. A thousand soldiers were stationed in the town to counteract the threat. After the murder of William Horsfall, another mill owner with an intense hatred for Luddites, in 1812 Parliament began to bring in regulations to protect workers. The town continued to flourish commercially, with the wool industry in particular bringing in a lot of wealth. Today it is a liberal university town, still inspired by the struggles of those who built it.

The boom created by Huddersfield’s textile wealth paid for some wonderful construction– only two places in Britain have more listed buildings. The railway station has been described as the town’s “stately home for trains” and it’s true that the columned façade, ornate portico and Corinthian ornamentation look more fitting to a king’s weekend home than to a mass transit stop. Next door, the handsome George Hotel, modelled on a Venetian palazzo, is the birthplace of Rugby League, so it’s a fitting location for the Rugby League Museum. Other prominent Victorian buildings include the Town Hall, which has a richly decorated concert hall that is home to the legendary Huddersfield Choral Society (if they’re performing when you’re in town, drop everything and go); and the fairytale Ramsden Building, part of the university. The cast iron Open Market holds a general market on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays and a second hand market on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Colne Valley Museum is an open air museum that recreates the lives eighteenth century weavers, with a loom chamber, spinning wheels and a gas-lit cobblers room. For something more esoteric, head for Huddersfield Art Gallery, which has a brilliant modern art collection with pieces by Bacon, Lowry and Moore among others. Tolson Memorial Museum leads you through the towns political and social history, uncovering layers of daily as far back as the Bronze Age. And if you fancy a walk, why not head up to the town’s most imposing landmark, Victoria Tower on Castle Hill. Looking out from the top of the hill, you can enjoy panoramic views of Huddersfield and the surrounding countryside and think about how it all began…
