Earlier this year I decided for a second reading
of the Queensgate market Huddersfield, the first being done as a small boy
seeking light marshmellowesque sweets at the pick n’ mix stall. This could be
one of Huddersfield’s most underrated buildings, if not for its innovative construction,
then for its ability to adored and loathed with equal adamancy. On the particular
day I visited the Civic Society had kindly laid on a typically under-funded
exhibition explaining just how great each of the 21 concrete shells are. This
included some pictures during construction of the making Huddersfield look more
L.A - California than L.A - Kirklees. At the risk of sounding Verbose here are
the images I managed to snap.
Here is a postcard of the Huddersfield icon
