Thornton Lodge

 Map 
Manchester Road, Thornton Lodge Thornton Lodge Road, Thornton Lodge Thornton Lodge is a district of Huddersfield about 1 mile south-west of the town centre.

The area extends from the A62 Manchester Road in the Colne Valley, near to the Paddock Viaduct, up the hillside towards Rashcliffe and Yews Hill.

Little of this area existed before the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries except for the Thornton Lodge hall, a building which still stands between Thomas Street and Brook Street, and which more recently saw use as an Islamia Girls High School.

The area was developed to support the housing need of a growing Huddersfield and since that time the original housing has been improved and newer housing added into gaps in the streetscape while retaining a smart recreational area. New shops and small businesses have also developed in the area.

Thornton Lodge has a modern Community Centre in Brook Street.
