Queen Street and St Paul's Church, Huddersfield
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)

Huddersfield, HD1 (Queen St)
A glance along Queen Street, in the direction of Cross Church Street, reveals the former Court of Requests building, complete with its crest above the porch. This is currently a restaurant. Courts of this nature were created following an order by the Lord Privy Seal. They became an independent tribunal with some Privy Council elements under Henry VII, with jurisdiction mainly over matters of equity. This national-style court became increasingly popular due to the absence of any cost in bringing a case to it and the speed at which matters were processed, in contrast with the slow and expensive common law courts. The court entourage originally followed the Monarch on his trips around England. Towards the end of Henry VIII's reign, the Court took on a more professional attitude with the appointment of two professional "Masters of Requests Ordinary" to act as judges, rather than simply relying on the Lord Privy Seal as was previously the case. An additional two "Masters of Requests Extraordinary" were appointed under Elizabeth I to allow two judges to accompany her on her travels around England. Under James I of England, two more Ordinary Masters were appointed. However, despite this this peripatetic court began to be criticised over the backlog of cases due to its increasing workload. When the Court formally became an independent body in the 16th century, free of Privy Council control, it immediately became vulnerable to attack by the common-law courts, which asserted that it had no formal jurisdiction and that the Court of Chancery was an appropriate equitable body for cases.

Livingstones, Queensgate, Huddersfield
This has been a club under various names for many years, but I suspect that it was built as a cinema. I don't remember seeing the horses before; perhaps they have been covered for a while.

St Paul's Hall, Huddersfield
The church was built 1829-31, architect John Oates, builder Joseph Kaye. A chancel was added in 1883. Its burial ground was closed by Act of Parliament in 1852 but burials actually continued until 1917. It closed as a place of worship in 1959, and after standing empty for many years was sold to Huddersfield Council in 1975 for conversion to a concert hall (St Paul's Hall) seating 400 people. It now forms part of the University of Huddersfield. Listed grade II (list entry 1231471). Source: 'Churches: A question of conversion', K Powell & C de la Hay, SAVE, 1987, p 93.
