Huddesonline - The Yorshire Community

The Local Community

The Yorkshire Community as it is today took shape during the 18^th and 19^th centuries. The local community has expanded from an Iron-Age fort up to the successful and developing town it is now. Huddersfield is on its way to being a key economical centre in the UK (as it once was). In summary the community can be described as one which can re-invent itself to suite the changing times while keeping the moral core values of Traditional Yorkshire.
