About

Almondbury ward occupies a hilltop position south of Huddersfield town centre, centred on the historic village of its name. The area includes the residential suburbs of Newsome and Hall Bower, with a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to post-war estates. The topography is defined by steep streets and green slopes leading down into the Holme and Colne valleys, shaping its distinct neighbourhoods.

This elevated site offers broad views across the surrounding valleys. Local commerce is focused along the main thoroughfares of Wakefield Road and Fernside Avenue, serving the community's everyday needs. The ward contains several greenspaces, including Castle Hill and the wooded Scout Wood.
