About Fencing in Huddersfield

Huddersfield in West Yorkshire sits at the meeting of the rivers Colne and Holme, a location whose abundant water sources proved ideal for washing raw wool and helped establish the town as a major textile centre from as early as the beginning of the 18th century. By 1911 around 22,000 people worked in the local textile trade, representing roughly a third of all men and two thirds of all women in the town, a scale that shaped Huddersfield's identity for generations. The town also has a strong claim on national politics, as Prime Minister Harold Wilson was born in 1916 in Milnsbridge on the edge of Huddersfield, and is remembered today with a statue outside the town's railway station, while his loyalty to Yorkshire made Gannex raincoats, another local textile innovation, something of his personal trademark.
