Issue 28 of Huddersfield Local History Society Journal is now available!

Current members of the Society receive a free complimentary copy of the journal. However, if we can’t tempt you to join today, you can order a copy of this issue of journal. We’ve also introduced a downloadable PDF version which has the exact same formatting as the print edition but incurs no extra postage costs.
