It is known as a mill town and it has a rich textile heritage. It was a wealthy town back in the day when there was a lot of manufacturing going on. Nowadays, it is pretty rubbish and in need of regeneration. Huddersfield town centre has turned into a bit of a ghost town as large retailers such as M&S disappear. It has a large university which is considered a big deal. No-one wants to go to Halifax for hospital treatment due to the issues with distance and congestion on the roads with Huddersfield being the large town it is. It is home to Huddersfield Town football club which was relegated to the Championship this year. The railway station looks phenomenal and has trains running through it. It has received a lot of bad publicity at late with grooming gangs, shootings, stabbings and drug dealing as well as the general rise in crime. The crime in the town has risen in prominence so much so there is now a five part documentary series called Hometown about the whole thing, including the police shooting at junction of the M62 of Huddersfield man Yassar Yaqub, 28 from Crosland Moor, Huddersfield.
