[edit] Largest branch of Zenneca

I heard Huddersfield boasts the largest branch of Zenneca (by site area). This is a dirty great chemical works specialising the development manufacture of paint and textile dyes, on the South East side of town near the delightful new waste disposal incineration facility.

...Hmmmm perhaps we'd better not include this info in the article :-) -- Harry Wood 11:59, 23 Feb 2005 (EST)

Actually we should. This is not Wikipropaganda, and if a place is a dump it should be called one. Jpatokal 12:26, 23 Feb 2005 (EST)

I guess you haven't been to Huddersfield, as we locals would not consider it to be a dump. The site you refer to is a few miles out to the North East of the town, thus with the prevailing south westerlies and strict emission controls it does not casue any issues for this fine northern town (see Mann's Model for urban planning). - annon 17:34, 3 July 2006

I grew up near Huddersfield. I don't want to describe it as a dump. In fact it isn't a dump. Not really. Just some parts. I dont think it would be wikipropaganda to ommit mention these things. Any other tourist guide would gloss over the bad bits. I was just mentioning it on this talk page because I do find it kind of difficult (and comical) to think of Huddersfield as a tourist destination. You can see that ugly-ass incinerator chimeney in the photo Image:UK-Huddersfield.jpg. It's huge! Can't beleive they allowed it to be built.

But you're right. Huddersfield does have its charms
