Teacher-led, grassroots, and rooted in belonging.

Local History Hub Huddersfield brings together schools, heritage organisations, and community partners to explore and share the stories that shape the city and its people. The hub is locally led and designed to strengthen curriculum learning, build lasting partnerships, and celebrate a shared sense of place and identity.

From classroom projects to community collaborations, the hub helps schools connect with Huddersfield’s diverse past and bring local history to life for children and young people.

We’re now building the team that will lead this exciting work in Huddersfield.


David Green - a PhD student at Nottingham Trent University’s School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment (ADBE) - will take on the role of Community Hub Lead, bringing a deep passion for transport and industrial heritage alongside 27 years’ experience in education, including extensive post-16 and adult teaching.

We are now seeking a Schools Hub Lead to work alongside him - someone passionate about history education who can help coordinate school involvement and shape how local stories are taught across Kirklees and the wider West Yorkshire region.

Whether you’re interested in this role or would like to support the hub as a partner, school, or collaborator, we’d love to hear from you.
