Huddersfield
Huddersfield is a large industrial town in the Kirklees district to the south west of Bradford.
Attractions in and around Huddersfield include John Smith's Stadium, the dark sentinel of the Victoria Jubilee Tower, (which overlooks the town from Castle Hill to the south), and the nearby Pennine village of Holmfirth in the Holme Valley (famous as the setting for the BBC TV series "The Last of the Summer Wine"), and Tunnel End near Marsden at the head of the Colne Valley to the west. The Derbyshire Peak District is also within easy reach to the south.
Huddersfield was the birthplace of Sir Harold Wilson, the Labour politician and twice elected Prime Minister who was born in the Cowlersley area of the Colne Valley in 1916.
