Primrose Hill, Newsome & Berry Brow

About

Primrose Hill, Newsome, and Berry Brow are residential areas in Kirklees, located southwest of Huddersfield town center. Primrose Hill is known for its mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, while Newsome and Berry Brow feature a blend of older properties and more modern developments. The areas are well-connected by public transport, with Berry Brow having its own railway station providing links to Huddersfield and Manchester.

Local amenities include small shops, cafes, and pubs, catering mainly to residents. Green spaces like Newsome Park and the nearby Huddersfield Narrow Canal offer walking routes. The areas have several primary schools and are close to Huddersfield New College. Housing tends to be more affordable compared to central Huddersfield, attracting families and first-time buyers. The hillside locations provide views over the town, though some streets are steep. Industrial heritage sites, like former mills, can still be seen in parts of Newsome.
