Walk to see Arts and Crafts houses in Huddersfield

Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from 7pm to 9pm

Join Huddersfield Civic Society in the company of local historian David Griffiths, author of the recent book Huddersfield’s Arts & Crafts Houses: From Edgar Wood to the 1930s, for a guided summer evening walk around our town’s richest area of such housing in the Lindley and upper Birkby districts.

Meet at 7pm at Briarcourt, 28 Occupation Road (approximately 200 metres from Lindley Clock Tower), assembling in the front garden. There are pubs but no public toilets near the start.

The walk will cover a range of pavements, paths and several road crossings. There is planned to be at least one pleasant surprise en route.

Finish around 9pm having returned up Daisy Lea Lane towards the recreation ground and Lindley Clock Tower. 

How to get there

By bus – 501 and other services, alighting at Lindley Clock Tower.

By car – please drive to Lindley Clock Tower, turn into the upper section of Daisy Lea Lane and park near the recreation ground, allowing 5 to 10 minutes to walk back via Lindley Clock Tower to Briarcourt.
