Kirklees Council are a disgrace. All the buildings that were once council owned (under Dewsbury council) were all slowly sold off once Kirklees came in to power. Their strategy was to sell as many assets as they could in order to make money to pump in to Huddersfield, so in essence, they stripped Dewsbury bare, and the beautiful buildings that were once considered 'assets' under Dewsbury council were sold to landlords (most of them out of town landlords who have little interest in Dewsbury and its rich history). A lot of the buildings once sold fell in to disrepair, and kirklees simply didn't say anything or have the power to say anything about the rot.
Add to that the high rent and the aggressive business rates meant that businesses wouldn't have the foothold long enough to make use of the buildings that WERE being rented out. Hence why Dewsbury has become a ghost town and a shadow of its former self. It makes me so incredibly sad that the beautiful buildings and the hard work the generations before us put in to making Dewsbury a stunning place have just become smashed up and forgotten pieces of architecture that were prominent and valuable.
Great video by the way!
Glad you enjoyed the video and unfortunately seems to happen alot to these great buildings a real shame
Kirklees are a horrible example of unaccountable over sized self serving government. Busy destroying everthing outside of Huddersfield. The bigger they get the smaller we are.
Used to love going to Dewsbury Library in the 60s with my Dad. Also the bath next door it's so sad to see these wonderful building falling apart. But what can you expect when the council tore down Moot Hall to build a road. Moot Hall was built in 1200 but gone now.
Yeah the library was fantastic and it is a shame - I have said this before the council's would rather build on Greenland rather than restore these buildings and the sad thing is this library is not that far gone and could be restored
Do you mean the bath hotel or was there a bath
@@keevenburnet3414 no its ment to say Baths as in Swimming Baths or Swimming pool in North America. Love building next to the library in a terrible state of repair as well?.
The hole in the roof is the bit of the nightclub building that's not in use. The Mural is part of a outdoor smoking area they opened up after the smoking ban and often has more people in it that inside the club. They've got a small PA so you hear the music that's playing.
Ahh wonder what's going on with the nightclub 🤔
Thank you thenk you so much for showing me the Dewsbury library. I missed the place so much. I used to study at DABTEC and spent a lot of afternoons and evenings at Dewsbury library. That beautiful staircase you showed brought back a lot of good old memories. I used to walk up the staircase to the upper floor and spent time studying there. There were long tables as I could remember. I like sitting at the upper floor and getting a nicer view looking outside.
This library was stunning real shame it was left like this passed it recently and still lies in same condition which is shocking tbh
been in both as a kid and as it still on my doorstep what a terrible waste
Yeah its a shame believe it was being converted now tho
Cant wait to watch this lol 😆 I remember going in there when I was a kid 😅 younger than 10 I think 😅
Crazy place shame it's been left hope you enjoyed
It's terrible that it's been left I walk down flyover and don't even notice it anymore what a waste 😔
why is there so many abandoned buildings around your area? In my country Canada, these buildings are demolished and the government takes over the land usually. It seems like so much wasted space/potential no?
Some places are wasted space the council here would rather build on green belts of lsnd as to fill there pockets - i come from a heavy ex textile town which is big enough to be a city got another like 19 mills to go to lol
Very cool find. Yeah it's not cool when people destroy places it needs to be kept as is it's a time capsule for us real explore's but yeah keep up the good work. slow down a bit when filming enjoy the view. great video tho. 👍👍
Thanks bro and yeah i get what i need and take photos as well so plenty of stuff thanks for the love man
Attended a family wedding reception in the main hall a few years ago around 2013. Have got a video of the occasion building was restored beautifully but destroyed by fire later. Shame
oh wow that's crazy thanks for sharing your story :)
great video to watch thank you take care
Glad you enjoyed it
Workers are now in there restoring the building.
Yeah i heard they had plans to restore the place - would love to see what they do with the place and what features of the building they keep because it is a great place
I used to spend many hours here back in the early 80's as a kid. Dewsbury was once quite a bustling wealthy town with lots of fine buildings - it even had three railway stations. Not quite the same now though!
It was the reference section at the top of the spiral stairs
Yeah many towns have changed and most not for the better unfortunately
I’ve wanted to have a look at that for ages but I was under the impression it had been renovated
no place is crumbling easy access as well but right on main road
Been watching your vids which are awesome btw and know you know Henry if you ever wanna do a colab let me know :)
BeardedReality Cheers man yeah wouldn’t mind meeting you at some point
more than welcome whenever your free man let me know got from the 23rd off for a week and got loads of plans :)
BeardedReality sounds good man I’m up in Yorkshire on the 29th you think you could explore then?
Checked this out today....still abandoned....however the fence you climbed has anti climb paint on..didit have it on when you climbed it?
Guess It didn't but no paint would stop me lol
@@BeardedReality yeah lol.....nkwt wrong with gettin abit dirty aha
@@BeardedReality do you know of any other buildings in wakefield/dewsbury area that you havnt covered
Those paintings are the smoking area of the squash club hahaha trust me that place is still open 🤣
im so sorry about Tristan breaking windows etc. I repeatedly told him not to because it ruins it for other people but he proceeded to break stuff and he wont be coming with us again as a result of it. my apolagies
I my self am not a vandal and I completely agree with you when you say it ruins thing as I love exploring these amazing buildings too
Well for one thing if you are caught you can bs done for criminal damage so thats one thing to bear in mind and no worries just think if there is more people that dont destroy things there is for for you to see and enjoy
Another thing to keep in mind if you really like urbex and exploring is to keep in mind who you bring as you can make friends but they will not want to give out locations to you if they see that kind of behaviour :)
@@BeardedReality thanks! I'm not bringing him again until he learns to listen to me and for sake of locations too
Living Life Virtually Yeah mate I brought some guy with me before who smashed things and let’s just say I don’t speak to him anymore and he hasn’t been with us in a very long time
What you don't realise is the amount of asbestos in these old buildings. It is in alot of materials. Only putting your health at risk doing videos like this.
Yes we understand this and accept the risks so we can film and show amazing places like this
This is a listed building Ffs kirklees, what are you doing 🤷🏻♂️
Real shame about this place
Still abandoned
Believe the library is currently under renovation but we will see how long that lasts
Can never seem to find the exact location of this building....i love dewsbury and its history. Do u mind tellin us where abouts it is
@@canon2633 it's in dewsbury not to hard to find
@@BeardedReality i was reaserching last night and couldnt seen to find the exact adress. Is it near the station?
