"Aspects of Huddersfield, the first in the highly successful Aspects
series to feature Huddersfield and district, contains a wealth of
pinpoint detail of the history of the town. The story of the coming of
the ""wireless"" to Moorside Edge, which made Huddersfield the radio
centre for Northern England, sits alongside the proceedings of the
Manorial Court at the Manor of Honley in the 18th and 19th centuries.
A fascinating collection of the Legends of the Colne Valley, sits
easily with Early Days in the Mill and the Diary of an Unknown. A tale
of courtship in the mid 1920s. While the Chartists went ""The Whole
Hog"" in Huddersfield, Mrs Sunderland became the ""Yorkshire Queen of
Song"", a feat still recognised in an annual music festival in her
name. Aspects of Huddersfield cannot but enthrall both the dedicated
researcher and the general reader with an interest in the town and its
environs."
