Buildings of Huddersfield Project Archive

The Buildings of Huddersfield project was initiated by the Local Architecture Research Group, to research and make available historical information about the architecture of buildings in the town. The Group was made possible by an HLF grant, which funded the creation of the steering group, the research project, and funds to disseminate the information, both through a website and through public events. The project ran from 2008-2012. Also includes a CD ROM.

Subsequently the project was taken forward by the Civic Society and Local History Society supported by Huddersfield Exposed. A website including information generated by the 2008-2012 project and subsequently greatly expanded can be seen at https://buildings.huddersfieldhistory.org.uk/info.html

The Local Architecture Research Group was led by Richard Fellows, Professor of Architecture at the University, and was made up of both internal and external interested parties, from the University Archivist, to a representative of the Civic Society. They acted as a steering group, appointing the researcher and coming up with events and activities to educate the publlic on the subject.
