Looking along Queen Street towards St Paul's Hall, formerly St Paul's Church. The church was built in 1829 by local stonemason Joseph Kaye. St Paul’s is now owned by the University and is no longer in use for worship, but instead it provides a venue for a range of concerts including the well known Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. The simple lancet windows are typical Early English Gothic in style. St Paul's is a Grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 406610 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-406610-huddersfield-polytechnic-st-pauls-church British Listed Buildings)
