Huddersfield West Yorkshire 8th January 2015

            This is the other terminal block on the northern single storey wing showing the coat of arms of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company. Pre-Grouping this was the LNWR ticket office but both this and the southern ex-LYR block are station pubs today.

Information from the Grade 1 listing record:-

The grandeur of the station is the result of its being built at the
joint expense of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal Company (absorbed by the LNWR in July 1847) and the Manchester and Leeds Railway. The former built the line, and planned to extend it to Leeds via Dewsbury. The latter, having failed to win this concession, needed running rights to connect their main line at Cooper Bridge with their subsidiary from Springwood Junction to Sheffield. 

The foundation stone was laid in October 1846, when a public holiday was declared and church bells were rung from dawn till dusk. It was partly opened for the commencement of services in August 1847, but not completed until October 1850. It had only one platform until October 1886, when the roof over the tracks, which had been begun in 1878 but had collapsed in course of construction in August 1885 (killing 4 men), was finally completed.
