George Hotel, Huddersfield

The George Hotel in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, is a Grade II* listed building, designed by William Wallen, with an Italianate façade.

On the right return, the middle window in the first floor has a balcony with a balustrade of intersecting circles, and a badge with Saint George in relief.

The then head of the family owning this estate, Sir John William Ramsden, 5th Baronet, was keen to develop Huddersfield town centre, and especially the area near the station.

[8][9] The Ramsden Estate had already built a hotel for the town, known as the George Inn and located on the north side of the established Market Place, in 1726 and rebuilt it in 1787.

[4][5] An east wing was added to the hotel on an unknown date prior to 1874, with an elevation facing John William Street and contained a large dining room on the ground floor, billiards room on the first floor, and bedrooms above.

[4][5] In the meantime, the whole Ramsden Estate had been bought by Huddersfield Corporation, bringing the freehold of the hotel into council ownership.

Within the centre were displays of memorabilia, including rare jerseys, medals, caps, programmes and photographs.

In 2019, the George Hotel was 'set alight' by film crew for COBRA, a six part television series which aired on Sky One in 2020.
