St George's Square been part of Huddersfield's history for more than 150 years and seen many changes - not least its own appearance.

The square has been changed and remodelled for the times down the years - including the latest redevelopment which attracted controversy over the use of Chinese granite and the water feature at the foot of the square.

St. George's Square and the surrounding buildings were build between 1846 and 1859.

They were part of the Ramsden family's ambitious plans to create a 'New Town' following the arrival of the railway in Huddersfield.

Huddersfield's railway station was designed by the architect James Pigott Ptitchett and built by the firm of Joseph Kaye between 1846 and 50 .

The station is well known for its classical style facade with a portico of the Corinthian order, consisting of six columns in width and two in depth facing out towards Lion Buildings.

The layout of the square has changed many times over the years in order to accommodate horse drawn carriages, trolley buses and taxis.

One of the recent additions to the square is a statue of Huddersfield's most famous son, Harold Wilson, Lord Wilson of Rievaulx (1916-1995).

A local sculptor, Ian Walters, was commissioned to create the sculpture which was unveiled on 9 July 1999 by Tony Blair.
