of the M62 and M1 motorways.
Excellent rail links and a
good public transport system
make it convenient to get to,
and to travel around.
There are over 200 listed buildings in Huddersfield town centre, and its
railway station was once described as "a stately home with trains in it".
Other landmark buildings are the Victoria Tower on Castle Hill, which features
on the label of a New Zealand wine, and the Alfred McAlpine Stadium which
won the RIBA Building of the Year Award in 1995.
 An
attractive and compact town, Huddersfield is located
in stunning moorland scenery, featured on TV in "Last
of the Summer Wine" and "Where the Heart Is" and on
film in "Brassed Off".
 Huddersfield
has strong traditions in
the textile and engineering
industries, and in music,
with a respected Choral Society
and a world-famous annual
Contemporary Music Festival.
Media and the creative industries
represent a growth sector
- reflected in the Huddersfield
Creative Town Initiative,
an urban regeneration programme
which takes creativity as
its catalyst.
