I spotted a discussion on FB about what the oldest picture of Huddersfield might be. Despite the Kirklees Image Archive dating this photo to 1910, it was actually taken on 27 July 1868 by John Vincent Hatch.

I enjoyed the Cycle Kirklees AGM this evening. Great talk by Richard Armitage (Manchester Bikes) - there's such enthusiasm to promote cycling's positive contribution to UK health and wellbeing. I hope my MP @pauldaviesmp.bsky.social might join us for a ride some time. 🥰
Now that's a nice looking Brompton. I think it's that gravel one. Looks bigger than the normal ones. I can't tell what's with the pedals. Do they come off? Anyway... Mmmm. Train to Huddersfield...

Huddersfield University, which is close to where I work, is a huge driver of the local economy.
They are literally next door to Kirklees College, an FE college with a good programme of vocational subjects. I doubt there’s capacity locally for two!

Yep, also hoping for an implosion for the next GE.
I just checked and all 69 seats in Kirklees are up for grabs next May.
I hope not many will be taken by RFM. Certainly not where I live… but that ward seems fairly solid LD.

A service focused on homelessness prevention in Kirklees shows how local solutions can help. Through a different model, it has been found to improve people's future employment prospects at a lower cost per outcome than the previous model.
