Walls come down but unique roof stands at former market
Kirklees Council plans to redevelop the area around the Market Hall. The plans include demolition of part of the Market building to form a new public square in front of the library and beside the Town Hall.
The work means that bus stops in Peel Street have been taken out of use with the bus station now the only stop for the routes which used them.
Kirklees Council recently submitted planning applications for revisions to its scheme for the market building and more detailed plans for its museum and art gallery building. That is being created from the existing library by adding an extension at the back of the building. The plans include design details including the external appearance and cladding of the extension to the listed library building.
New landmark health building
Work is now under way for a second building on the new campus.
The first construction on the site has been named the Daphne Steele Building. Daphne Steele was a nurse who came to the UK in 1951 from what was then British Guiana, now Guyana, to work in the recently-formed NHS. She became a matron at St Winifred's Hospital, Ilkley in 1964.
The new campus aims to lead healthcare innovation across the North of England and will feature a health and wellbeing academy, research and specialist clinical teaching facilities and public-facing features including a podiatry clinic, sports and physiotherapy clinic and health coaching by video link.
The site had been vacant since the demolition of Ibbotson and Lonsbrough Flats and the former Huddersfield Sports Centre while an earlier plan for a new Tesco store on the site was abandoned.
