This Place Once Had Everything. What Happened?

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wanderingturnip https://www.patreon.com/WanderingTurnip Episode 13 - Death of the High Street / Huddersfield I headed across the valley to Huddersfield. A town with a reputation for being dangerous. Gun crime, knife crime, gangs and the rest all have been tales told for years. Is it true? I was interested to look at the high street as I had heard only bad things. Everyone saying how the town has just given up and is a shadow of what it once was. The town has a crazy history as well, as only 100 years ago, it bought its self back from the all powerful landlord family, the Ramsdens. So how does a town then fall into disrepair so quickly. The locals had a lot to say about this place, unfortuntely nothing good. It had a great market and out door food stalls, and I feel like my impression from the day wasn't as bad as the people who live there, who have more personal experience. I did however find a lot of chimneys which was fun. Until next time, W.T #huddersfield #high #street #urban #decay #shopping #retail #abadoned #shopping #city #explore #explorepage
