Episode 13 - Death of the High Street / Huddersfield

I headed across the valley to Huddersfield. A town with a reputation for being dangerous. Gun crime, knife crime, gangs and the rest all have been tales told for years. Is it true?

I was interested to look at the high street as I had heard only bad things. Everyone saying how the town has just given up and is a shadow of what it once was.

The town has a crazy history as well, as only 100 years ago, it bought its self back from the all powerful landlord family, the Ramsdens. So how does a town then fall into disrepair so quickly. The locals had a lot to say about this place, unfortuntely nothing good.

It had a great market and out door food stalls, and I feel like my impression from the day wasn't as bad as the people who live there, who have more personal experience.

I did however find a lot of chimneys which was fun.

Until next time,


W.T
