About Aspley
Where to stay in Aspley
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Culture is the pull here. The Huddersfield Library and Art Gallery and the Rugby League Heritage Centre both sit in Aspley, so a visitor booking a room in the wider town spends the day inside this district rather than hunting for it elsewhere. Beds are another matter.
Jockey Hall, Plantation House and Westgate House are listed addresses rather than accommodation, which leaves Huddersfield to supply the rooms while Aspley supplies the reasons to walk.
About Aspley
What are the main landmarks in Aspley?
Three of the names are churches. The Parish Church of St Peter, the Church of St Mark on Old Leeds Road and Milton Congregational Church cover the worship, while the Huddersfield Library and Art Gallery and the Rugby League Heritage Centre give the district its two public collections. Jockey Hall is the odd one.
Plantation House and Westgate House hold their listings as buildings, and the Tower In North West Corner Of Railway Yard puts the railway itself on the same record.
What is the history of Aspley?
Dates are what the record lacks. Aspley reaches it through buildings instead, with Jockey Hall, Plantation House and Westgate House among the listed addresses and Milton Congregational Church and the Parish Church of St Peter marking the older religious use of the ground. The railway left a tower.
It stands in the north west corner of the yard and is listed in its own right, while the Rugby League Heritage Centre keeps a different strand of the Huddersfield past a short way off.
Where is Aspley?
Aspley sits inside Huddersfield, a district taking in the Parish Church of St Peter, Old Leeds Road and the railway yard where a listed tower stands.
