Excellent! I lived here for the first 30 years of my life, starting in 1947. Amazing the council vandalism over the years in Huddersfield. Transforming a wonderful town into the most hideous town in Yorkshire. A lot of the horrid stuff built in the 1960s has already been demolished.

And apart from the old bus 'station' - which was just a collection of drafty, exposed shelters, I can't really see any improvement. The fate of the piazza development - soon to be demolished - and the market just shows how these planners got it wrong.

How long has the Piazza been up ?

@@frankyw8803 Your memory is playing ticks on you: my mother worked for a while, on one of the stalls selling material and clothing. In the summer, it was unbearably hot - so much so that the centre's owners installed fans, which helped a bit, but not much. Her employer was far from pleased with the new environment because in summer, people stayed out, and she was not the only one.

The pub at castle hill wasn't demolished because of the council, it was because the owners had building work done and didnt stick to what they was allowed to do so they got told to make it right but couldn't afford it so it got ripped down.

To be fair the old market hall looked like Dracula's Castle...they could have least sandblasted it.

The pub at Castle Hill and losing our heritage, Scandalous that the clowns can get away with it 🤡 Bloody Kirklees Council

I thought the planners in Huddersfield were bad today but it would seem they’ve always been absolutely shite - fancy binning off that market hall. Not to mention the piece hall and the midland bank

Does anyone know when the cooling towers were demolished?
@buriedyorkshire4 ай бұрын
The power station shut in 1981 and the towers were demolished in 1983. 👍🏻

Tell me, what were the big cooling towers for?
@harry1307477 ай бұрын
These were for the electricity power station which was next to the gasworks down St Andrew's Road. Coal fired, some of the coal came by the Ramsden broad canal. Coal was unloaded at Aspley Canal basin. There's a picture of the coal bunkers there. I used to watch as a child.
