Queensgate Market Hall, Huddersfield; Yorkshire; J Seymour Partnership, 1969-70, Grade II & Library and Art Gallery, Ramsden Street, Huddersfield, Yorkshire; EH Ashburner with GH Rowledge, 1937 Grade II

These two buildings were put forward for listing simultaneously and have been recommended by English Heritage and the Heritage Minister. A final decision will be made in January 2005. While the market hall is a masterpiece of engineering and its cantilevering roof structures add much to the roofscape of central Huddersfield, the library close by is a proud civic building of the interwar period clad in local Crosland Hill stone. Both have been put at risk by re-development plans for the centre of Huddersfield.
