EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, EPW061320 from the Historic England Archive, offers a unique perspective of Cleckheaton, a historic market town located in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England, as it appeared in June 1939. Taken from a south-eastern angle, the image reveals an intricate urban landscape, where a mosaic of buildings, roads, and green spaces come together to form a cohesive whole. At the heart of the town, the grand Cleckheaton Town Hall, with its distinctive clock tower, stands proudly, a testament to the community's rich history. Surrounding it, a dense network of streets and terraced houses can be seen, their red-tiled roofs forming a striking contrast against the lush green expanses of the town's parks and gardens. The image also reveals the industrial heritage of Cleckheaton, with several factories and mills visible, including the large textile mill located near the River Spen. The mill, with its tall chimneys and expansive buildings, once played a significant role in the town's economy, contributing to its reputation as a hub for textile production. The River Spen, a major watercourse that runs through the town, can be seen meandering through the landscape, adding a natural element to the otherwise urban scene. The image also reveals several large open spaces, including the town's cricket ground, which adds to the town's recreational offerings. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective of Cleckheaton as it was on the eve of World War II. It serves as a reminder of the town's rich history and its transformation over the decades, making it an invaluable addition to the Historic England Archive.
