- Join me for a walk around the great West Yorkshire town of Huddersfield, an industrial powerhouse of the Victorian era and full of some of the most spectacular 19th-century architecture in Yorkshire. With its modern roots in wool and textiles, Huddersfield has grown from a small village into a strong modern town, even with its own university just outside the centre.
As we walk around Huddersfield, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including Huddersfield Railway Station, the statue of Harold Wilson, the George Hotel, St. George's Square, John William Street, Market Place, New Street, The Commercial Hotel, Huddersfield Town Hall, Huddersfield Library & Art Gallery, the University of Huddersfield Campus, the Piazza Shopping Centre, the Old Courthouse, the Lawrence Batley Theatre, St. Peter's Church, Beast Market, Huddersfield Mechanics' Institution and Huddersfield Open Market.
Thank you so much to the following sites for their help in my research of Huddersfield:

Your videos are wonderful how you put the interesting facts about the towns. Great job! 👍

Credit to you Sir this video is wonderful.👍 Great 🎥 Well done beautiful Town 👏
Thank you so much! That's really kind of you to say - Huddersfield is a grand town with a hugely impressive history, and I really hope you found this an interesting watch :)
We miss walking and shopping in Huddersfield! As my Mum is from nearby Clayton West we used to fly from Malaysia to visit relatives at least once a year. Due to the pandemic we have not been back in 2 years. Thank you for this reminder of how beautiful Huddersfield is.
Oh no! I'm so sad to hear you haven't had the chance to visit Huddersfield recently - it certainly is a very impressive town with spectacular architecture all around, I'm glad this video gave you a glimpse to Huddersfield again from the comfort of your home :)
Thank you very much for watching - I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I agree Huddersfield is a beautiful place. Am from Bradford. I go there a lot
Full of memories... Graduated from there and stayed in Trinity house for a long time... Each and every corner is well known to me... Saw Malaika's at a glance where I worked for few days... Those blue stairs where I would wait for my love😢... That town centre pubs restaurants... All are crystal clear memories now... Visit storthes hall and greenhead park once😢. The most beautiful place I have ever visited is Stratford upon Avon ( William Shakespeare's birth place) and it was also from Huddersfield... Wish to be there once again... Miss you Huddersfield...😢😢😢❤️
Wonderful to hear! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories of Huddersfield - I hope you get the chance to return soon :)
Thank you so much for watching!
Nice walk I enjoyed the town. Very historical and beautiful can't wait to see more. 😀😀
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Huddersfield has some rather grand buildings and a fascinating heritage to it :)
Thank You for sharing such an informative and detailed video about this beautiful town.

I hope you have a wonderful time when you go back - and I really hope that this video brought back some nice memories of Huddersfield for you :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
I just adore Huddersfield ❤️
Great video: Glad you opened with Harold Wilson who, after Clem Atlee, was the best peacetime Prime Minister we ever had.
Huddersfield's Victorian masterpieces makes me think of my own Glasgow which is so familiar to me I can't see it clearly any more.
I like TH-cam video tours very much whether Europe or Canada or the USA, and of all the many I have watched, yours are easily the best.
Huddersfield I only passed through decades ago, but I have deep affection for the North, its people and its writers.
Keep on filming !
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Huddersfield is full of stunning Victorian architecture as you mention - and is of course the home of some great figures of history too :)
It really means a lot to hear you enjoy watching these videos as we explore England's North, and even further afield in the coming months too!
Thank you so much for watching!
loving it ♥️
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Huddersfield is a fascinating place indeed :)
I remember Huddersfield. I didn't get any time to look around though. I was in Manchester at a friend's house, and he dropped me off at the train station. That's when I learned about limited Sunday service. The train took me to Huddersfield where I got off at that amazing station, and there were a couple of buses waiting for us just across the street. There's way more to this story, but I don't want to bore anyone.
It's always lovely to hear you share memories! As you mention, the station is absolutely wonderful, and there's more to the town, just as I'm sure there is to your story too :)
Thank you for watching and commenting as always - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Tell us more
@@dominospizza4386 That bus took me to Leeds, where I was told I had to change for a bus to York. Being Sunday, there was nobody working there, so I just asked another passenger, and he told me which bay to wait at. Time passed, and the bus didn't show up. I got talking to a lady who was waiting for her boyfriend, and she told me I'd missed it. I had been directed to the wrong platform. There was another bus heading for Newcastle (I think) and she suggested I talk to the driver. He said he was going through York and could let me off there.
It was quite a roundabout way of getting to York, but I saw a lot of nice countryside.
A home of industrial history, culture and arts, a thriving university campus, two former Prime Ministers and the sport of rugby league, there's so much to discover in Huddersfield - one of West Yorkshire's largest towns!
I hope you enjoy this walk around Huddersfield :)
I loved this video. I visited Huddersfield back in 2019, and was shown around by a cousin. It is so lovely to see Huddersfield again. I was amazed by the buildings and history. I have ancestors from this area (I'm an Aussie) and had no idea about the history and beauty of the city. Thank you for sharing it. I've been following your walks for a while; this is definitely my favourite. Keep up the good work!
@@gailstevens6831 Thank you so much! It is amazing how much history and spectacular architecture there is in Huddersfield - and certainly a lot to discover in and around the town :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words - I'm really glad you've enjoyed the videos!
Well that was quite satisfying to watch. I was wondering what day of the week did you film this+ what time of the day 🤔❓as there doesn't seem to be too many people around.
Miss you huddersfield
Wow. I've never been to Huddersfield, so I didn't know what a handsome town it is. I'd love to visit when I can get to the north. However, I can't think that the rugby league team were known as the giants throughout most of their illustrious history. That sounds like some kind of a weird recent affectation. I think they were just Huddersfield when my dad used to watch them play on TV.
Huddersfield certainly has quite the range of gorgeous buildings - and it's a fascinating place to visit too! Good eye on the rugby team name - you're absolutely right, as 'Giants' was added to the team name in 1996, but they were actually called Huddersfield Barracudas at one point before (again in the later 20th century)
Thank you very much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Huddersfield has the 3rd most listed buildings in the country, surprising if you dont know the place, but makes sense if you do
we would like to go explore some day
Huddersfield is a great town! There's a lot to discover and I just about scratched the surface in this video - exploring both the town centre and the outskirts offers a lot :)
Thank you so much for watching - I hope you enjoyed the video!
Take me home to Huddersfield.
I hope this walk did that a little for you - it's a great town!
Thank you very much for watching :)
@@LetsWalkUK I know it is. I'm stuck in Manchester and dream of being back home. Thanks for the video. It helps.
Hope they have replaced the single glazed windows in Milton building, noise from the ring road blocked any lecture, I know I went there and thought it a poor uni.
I'm literally the girl right at the end walking toward the station with my back and white Adidas jacket and get and pink shark leggins 🤣
Ha ha ha well done for catching yourself there - and many thanks for watching through the video! I really hope you enjoyed it and found it an interesting watch :)
Are u a student
About doing a walk of West Bromwich.
I'll put it on the list! I've done a few other videos in the Black Country, including Dudley, Wolverhampton and Tipton, which you can find here if you fancy watching them: th-cam.com/play/PLJrZ-TXvTlrRen2d9bK6ftPLxi6gnixxX.html
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
I’m amazed how you find jewels in your ye dirt,lots of dull places,are really more interesting than they look.
Sadly you missed the indoor market on the left after the awful car park it’s a listed building with magnificent artwork on the outside you see it clearly
Oh no! I'm very sorry about that - an oversight on my part, I do get a bit distracted with some of the lovely architecture around Huddersfield :)
Thank you so much for watching - I do hope you enjoyed the rest of the video!
I am a native of Huddersfield and I and any one I knew there pronounced the H
In my boyhood days a thriving bustling town everyone went to Monday open market Kayes and woolworth and c & a now a shambles and a crying shame of its former self well done KMC.😢
I thought it was illegal to walk past Queensgate Market without mentioning "Asymmetrical Hyperbolic Paraboloid Concrete Shell Umbrella".
i left huddersfield 2017
The parish is actually 400, standing. Not seated.
