Huddersfield in General

I was born in Huddersfield, when I was four my family (me, mum, dad and big brother) moved to Bridlington for a taste of seaside life. We got more than a little homesick and returned to Huddersfield when I was in the last year of junior school; minus my big brother, who had fallen in love with a Brid girl and moved in with her. All my family live in Huddersfield and I don't have any plans to move away, in my opinion Huddersfield has everything you could ever want. ** A bit of background...................

Huddersfield is in my opinion an exceptional place to live (possibly biased seeing I've lived here my entire life).

Huddersfield is the place to be with lots of pubs, clubs and bars. They are superb and I would recommend it to any one. Well, actually It's not that good. The shops are pretty average, although they have one of those new and groovy Virgin V shops. Burgerking has been recently refurbished and is a welcome home and meal for many a drunkerd on a late night, with new opening times and fabulous leather seats. The bars are quite good with a good atmosphere later on a Saturday night. The places to be are 'Visage,' 'bar non,' and a few others. Places that have never let me down in serving a poor pint are 'The head of steam' which is on huddersfield ...  Read the complete review
