Historic England have supported plans to convert Huddersfield's listed library and market into an independent food hall and museum about the town's history

“We welcome the way in which the proposals have been developed with consideration for the significance of Huddersfield’s heritage generally and the particular historic and architectural significance of the Queensgate Market and library buildings.

“It’s really helpful for us to be involved with a project like the Cultural Heart in the early stages. This way, we can highlight the significance of protected historic buildings and advise on how development plans can help retain and enhance their special character.”Coun Graham Turner of Kirklees Council said: “The investment in, and revitalisation of our town centres is vital if they are to thrive again.

“The Cultural Heart strikes the perfect balance of creating a vibrant and welcoming destination for all whilst celebrating the town’s heritage and putting the magnificent historic buildings front and centre.“We are proud of our heritage and are committed to not just preserving these important buildings but giving them a new lease of life so that they can be enjoyed for generations to come.

“I am really pleased that we have developed a strong partnership with Historic England, whose support has also been vital in bringing the iconic George hotel back to life after years of decay and neglect.The library building, which was also the civic art gallery, was built in 1937 and opened in 1940.
