Berry Brow

Berry Brow is a semi-rural village in West Yorkshire, England, situated about 2 miles (3 km) south of Huddersfield.

The site of a third public house, The Black Bull, was converted into an Indian restaurant in 1994, and received planning permission to expand capacity in 2011.

[2] These reached public notoriety in the 1980s when they were found to contain high levels of asbestos[citation needed], which had been built into the fabric of the building, under the regulations in force at that time.

A request by Kirklees Council for money from central Government to assist with the predicted £1 million cost of removing the asbestos was rejected in February 1991.

[3] Expecting to take approximately 6 months to complete the task of removing the asbestos, Kirklees Council temporarily re-housed the tenants in other areas, the majority of whom consisted of mature and elderly residents[citation needed].
