This captures the industrial spirit of Huddersfield. The range with water tower and chimney is Fairfield Mills and is still a working woollen mill. In the background are the tall engineering workshops of Thomas Broadbent & Sons. That company is still in business also and started in 1864. Sneaking underneath the more modern rectangular block just beyond the blue railings is the restored Huddersfield Narrow Canal.
