HUDDERSFIELD: Posh Urban Decay

[@eleanorzf02]

I've just moved out of Huddersfield after living there for 11 years. The town is a shell of what it used to be, mainly because of Kirklees Council's incompetence, but areas such as Holmfirth, Marsden and the Colne Valley are amazing places to walk. I'd love to see a video of the Marsden Moors!

[@bobbyshafto3259]

Good luck to you for moving out....it's now getting more full of SCUM every day. I thought I was lucky living in the Colne Valley until today.. an old mill in Milnsbridge has been converted into a HOTEL for VERMINOUS SCUM and they're starting to move in tomorrow......absolutely frightening !!!

KIRKLEES ARE SHOCKING

[@mitsum17chi]

Huddersfield's my home town, heres a bit of insight on some of the places you saw: 20:12 these were built as student accommodation being completed in 2017ish. They were open about 6 months before they were shut by the council and WY Fire for safety concerns because of the cladding they used (someone mentioned it was the same used in Grenfell) 22:22 currently that building gets used for the DVLA theory tests as far as I'm aware, not too sure what else is in there 24:46 that bus goes around Salendine Nook and Lindley, should've gone up there as there's Wellington Mills which has a lot of history behind it as well as HRI and Princess Royal 26:23 this in fact is the old Kirklees Technical College (before the one at 6:42) which shut down in 2013. It's been abandoned since then with issues such as vandalism and arson causing the barbed wire and fencing to be put up around it 26:45 correctly yes this is the old Huddersfield Hospital which I think shut down sometime in the 80's, it was then used by the college as mentioned above and abandoned in 2013 alongside the old technical college 27:12 that's the DVLA Driving Test Centre, not too sure if the guy is correct but maybe it shut due to Covid? Someone might have to clear that up. 27:33 to be honest, quite common round Hudds. Cost of living is hitting us pretty hard atm. 29:00 the road your on now (Halifax Rd) goes right from the town centre to Ainley Top meeting the M62 and Elland Bypass. 32:27 the guy's right, this was also part of the abandoned Kirklees Technical College. To be honest I thought it got abandoned but clearly not. 35:30 Emley Moor Mast, think it's a TV or Telecommunications tower (can't remember). There's a lift inside it which takes over 3 minutes to get to the top. Wouldn't wanna get stuck in that myself. Also the building obstructing it didn't use to look like that, and there used to be 2 of them. When the old sports centre was demolished they took one of the flat blocks as well and updated the one you saw here in 2018. 35:36 it is now used for manufacturing radio components, but did use to be a radio broadcasting station which later moved to Bradford turning into Pulse 2 and now called Greatest Hits Radio which is still based in Bradford. 37:59 the day you came the Textile Market was on. Each day has a different market, Saturday/Sunday is the best day as there's a bit of everything. 39:09 typical Huddersfield roadman there 🤣 39:56 agreed, hence why we get perceived as a s**thole. 39:58 that's the Sorting Office for Royal Mail, the front of it used to be the main post office which moved further down the town near the mosaic mentioned near the start of the video 43:28 if you'd have gone upstairs you would've entered Kingsgate which is our shopping centre. There's talks going on atm to make it into a cinema/shopping centre/food court (like Trinity Leeds) Thanks for giving a realistic representation of what Huddersfield looks like, as the pictures online don't exactly perceive it as a great place to live. If you did move here, the better place to live would be northern Huddersfield (Salendine Nook, Lindley, Ainley Top, Birchencliffe, etc...) Maybe come again and take a look round those areas, that 370 bus is the one you'll need to catch or the 371/372.

Fifty years ago a television transmitter collapsed taking channels off the air for millions of viewers across Yorkshire. The 1,265ft (386m) high metal mast was brought down at Emley Moor near Huddersfield by the weight of ice forming on its supporting cables. Despite falling across a road and causing damage to a chapel and the transmitter building nobody was hurt. It was replaced in 1971 by the concrete structure which still stands today. Brian Glendenning was the senior engineer on duty on 19 March 1969 when the mast crashed to the ground at just after 17:00. Located 1 mile west of the small village of Emley, the Emley Moor Mast is a Grade II listed building. Towering 330m (1,084 ft) high above the West Yorkshire countryside, it is the tallest freestanding structure in the UK, the 7th tallest freestanding tower in the European Union and the 25th tallest tower in the world.

As many have said already, thank you for showing my home town. I had a genuine sense of nostalgia as I was watching. There did seem to be a genuine sense of pride in the town when I was growing up there in the 80s. I went back there sometime ago and I was quite shocked to see the number of pound and betting shops that had emerged. I feel sorry for my dad's generation who have seen the town's decline. It was a shame that the Town Hall and the Library weren't shown (they were just down Ramsden Street from the "Soviet mosaic"), but you can't show everything. The DVLA centre used to be where the Huddersfield Choral Society Youth Choir used to rehearse. You are right - the town could be more than it currently is and I hope that I will see it happen.

Monsieur Veitch, I do enjoy your videos very much. I wish i had known about your visit to my hometown. Early on in your proton capture you ignored the Harold Wilson statue (Prime Minister). That gentleman, although a bit of a pipe smoking (falsely) who apparently preferred Cigars ,too middle class, was the potential target of a rogue military coup. Also early on you commented on the Lidl building. Did you know that that the remaining facade below was the venue of the last ever Sex Pistols gig before they went to America and split. Finally you ignored the George Hotel (currently under restoration) to the right of the station that Betjamin adored, was where the breakaway Rugby League was founded. You did acknowledge that with the right management it could be a great Town and I agree, i will forward your video to Kirklees Council. Keep up the good work. Chris

I spent some really good years in Huddersfield between 2000 and 2010. I went to a great college, joined a music band, had great karaoke nights in town and made many friends whom I still keep in touch with. HOWEVER since then it has seriously gone down hill - and I am referring mainly to the town centre and some of the areas surrounding the town (Fartown) which have become horrendous and very scruffy and very unsafe. The hospital is a sight for sore eyes. Once you get into the sticks - namely Holmfirth or places like Lepton it becomes delightful. But the town has a lot to answer for. I am not sure if I should blame the council or the people.

Me and my friends managed to get into the old Kirklees College a few times, it is just interesting to explore what use to be especialy when it is so decrepid. but since people started smashing it up and worse stuff the council put up all that crappy board and wiring. Whenever I visist I still use the old car park for my trips into the town centre mostly because on sundays it is free and also £2 for the whole day.

Worked here in 2006 for two months. Can't wait to watch it later to reminisce.

Excellent video, as a Huddie born and bred, I was expecting the video to be one long insult, but in fact it was entertaining, funny and also gave me some renewed confidence our town might one day become what it once was. As you say, it needs good management plus investment. The Kirklees council seem intent on destroying our town centre in regards to creating a place people want to come and shop and spend a day out in. Thanks for the video.

At 21:21, these flats upgraded/refurbed last year to proper regulations, then owner taken the Home Office money to house illegal migrants, students had already booked paid their deposits for their UNI studies, had to find somewhere else.😵‍💫

I live in Holmfirth near Huddersfield. Yes like your vid. Good humour and we all think Huddersfield is a tatty shell of its former self. As a previous person said. Holmfirth Marsden and now Slaithwaite or Slawit as it is known locally are all very nice places to live.

Fantastic tour Charlie, thanks for sharing.

If you went along Vernon Avenue you’d have come across Greenhead Park

I'm from huddersfield. I'm proud to be from there. The town needs a massive overhaul though

[@PrestigeRoadman]

ayo Charles... that abandoned house your in has major history believe it not. A family i know personally, its a sad story man honestly

[@PrestigeRoadman]

i can provide full context as to how the property got like this as i know the family that lived there

[@PrestigeRoadman]

ayo the place you thought was a hospital was genuinely the old kirklees college before they built the newer one on chapel hill... (maybe might have been a hospital but that was before i was born so IDK lol)

[@joc6516]

A nice tour there and extra points for bringing up the metropolitan area as well... so few people in the UK understand, let alone use metropolitan area figures and they are so useful.

I lived in Huddersfield for 5 years, I was studying mechanical engineering. At first I didn’t like the place but it grows on me and I miss it.

And England accepts you sir.. well most of us "Which way to go left.. right.. oh wait there's a hole in the fence " 😆 Classic Veitch 👍🏻

That seems like a decent size house could be nice if restored! Plenty of double bed sized bedrooms.
