Huddersfield Local History Society

Huddersfield Local History Society is a membership organisation for anybody and everybody interested in the history of the town. Our established activities include monthly talks from September to May; a summer outing; an autumn seminar; an annual journal, free to members; and a series of publications. We are keen to recruit new members and to develop opportunities for members to share their interests in local history and work together to find out more about our fascinating town.

Tolson Museum

A vivid and intriguing picture Huddersfield and its people, from pre-history to present day, revealed through unique collections. From Romans finds to textiles, birds to transport, Tolson is a treasure house of the fascinating, the curious and the amazing. See curious vehicles from the past, learn about ‘the town that bought itself’ and view our First World War and Suffragist exhibitions.
