Much of Huddersfield's original growth and prosperity was due to the former Lords of the Manor - the Ramsden family. During the Industrial Revolution Huddersfield built an enviable reputation based on a first class textiles industry and its fine woollen worsteds are still sent to customers all over the world. The boom created by the textiles industry provided a rich legacy of fine Victorian buildings such as the railway station, once described as 'the finest façade of any such building in the Country'. Architecturally the town boasts an incredible 1,660 listed buildings - the third highest number in the country Media and creative industries represent a growth sector for which Huddersfield is becoming increasingly acclaimed.
