Longwood, Huddersfield

Longwood is a village and suburb of the town of Huddersfield in the English county of West Yorkshire.

It is situated some 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west of Huddersfield town centre, in the valley of the Longwood Brook, a tributary of the River Colne.

Near the amphitheatre, where the sing takes place, the folly Nab End Tower can be found.

In 2005, a campaign was mounted to save the Longwood allotment plots (situated behind the Mechanics' Institute) from being developed into housing.

The name Longwood derives from Old English Lang wudu, meaning "The Long Wood".
