Background Information

St George's Square is widely celebrated as one of the finest architectural focal points in West Yorkshire, framed by the magnificent Grade I listed Huddersfield railway station, described by John Betjeman as "the facade in the world". During the early 20th century, local publishers like "The Dainty" Series captured these vibrant civic centers to supply the booming Edwardian postcard correspondence market.
