Huddersfield Remembered

I was asked to digitise this video by a friend of my mums, it's quite interesting. The back of the video reads.... The threshold of a new millennium is an ideal point to review the recent past of Huddersfield and to examine what effect the last hundred years have had on its citizens. Who could have imagined, as the people of Huddersfield prepared to celebrate the dawn of the 20th Century, the momentous changes about to take place in industry and commerce, living and working conditions, sport and entertainment. We reflect on these events to reveal a century of triumphs and tragedy, war and peace, hardship and good times. Written by Isobel Schofield, the historical background of these major Twentieth Century changes is clearly explained. Beautifully illustrated with archive film, photographs and modern day footage. Topics Include: Woolen Industry Luddites Chemical Industries Engineering Transport Education Medical care Victorian Huddersfield Housing Markets and Fairs Culture and Entertainment Wars A delightful record of Huddersfield's past.
