Joseph Kaye - 'Builder of Huddersfield'

Joseph Kaye (c.1779-1858) built many of the town's most familiar buildings from the first half of the 19th century, but he was more than a builder. He was also a mill-owner, quarryman, brewer, publican and local politician, and claimed to be an architect too. The walk will visit a variety of sites, in or near the town centre that evoke the life of this all-purpose entrepreneur, finishing at the Parish church. It starts with an uphill walk from Folly Hall Mills into the town centre.
