Blackmoorfoot Road, Crosland Moor
Moorfield Shopping Centre
Crosland Moor is a large district of Huddersfield to the south of the Colne Valley stretching for around a mile up the hill at each side of Blackmoorfoot Road, an old moorland route towards Marsden. Crosland Moor Bottom is about a mile south west of Huddersfield town centre.
Crosland Moor is the location of one of Huddersfield's closed hospitals. St Luke's Hospital closed in January 2011 and has now been demolished and the site redeveloped with housing. Buildings on site included those of a Victorian workhouse, opened in 1872.
One of the notable events in Crosland Moor's history was the Luddite murder of Marsden woollen manufacturer William Horsfall in 1812. He was shot by four men armed with pistols as he stopped to let his horse have water near the location now named William Horsfall Street.
Although the district of Crosland Moor of today is largely seen to be the extensively developed area below the hamlet and quarries of
Crosland Hill
, the name appears to originate from that of the moor itself, extending above Crosland Hill and where there is today the Crosland Moor Airfield.
