Lockwood just 2 miles West of Huddersfield was an Independent Township with a Local Governing Board formed in 1833 which held its meetings in the local School until the New Town Hall was opened in 1866 which was the first in the country built by such a body to provide itself with a Town Hall, however by 1869 Lockwood became part of the newly formed Huddersfield Corporation the building no longer required for meetings was used as a Police Station then a Fire Station and today it is now used by a local Ice Cream Maker.
