Welcome to Queensgate Indoor Market, Huddersfield
Queensgate Market is home to over one hundred shops who welcome shoppers six days a week.
From Monday to Saturday, this indoor market offers a vast range of goods and services. Spend just a few hours in Queensgate and you can leave with a new haircut, nail extensions, a fabulous outfit for the weekend, probably with matching mobile phone cover and of course the family groceries. For the more practical, you can have keys cut, shoes re-soled, buttons sewn on jackets and your vacuum cleaner serviced, whilst you relax over a coffee or enjoy a light lunch at one of the nine cafés and take-aways.
The choice of food available is mouth-watering, fresh meats, fruit and vegetables, cheese, biscuits and for the more adventurous olives, caviar and freshly ground coffees.
Comfortable shopping, with wide aisles, clean and pleasant surroundings and is served by well-maintained public facilities.

Nicholas Smith 1934-2015
Nicholas Smith (5 March 1934 – 6 December 2015) was an English actor. He was best known for his role in the BBC sitcom Are You Being Served?, in which he played Mr. Rumbold, the manager of the Grace Brothers department store.
Smith, the son of a chartered surveyor, attended a preparatory school and St. John's School, Leatherhead. He learned to play musical instruments, studied singing and trained as an actor at RADA. He then appeared in repertory theatres, on the West End stage, at the Bristol Old Vic and on Broadway.
Smith's earliest TV roles were as a non-speaking extra in various ITV programmes. He had his first speaking role in the BBC's Doctor Who serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964). Smith persuaded the serial's director, Richard Martin, to expand the role so that his character, Wells, appeared in three of the serial's six episodes instead of only one or two as originally scripted. This was followed by small roles in many other adventure series, such as The Saint, The Avengers, The Champions and Ace of Wands.
Are You Being Served? began with a pilot episode in 1972, with Smith playing Mr. Cuthbert Jug Ears Rumbold, the manager of the menswear and ladieswear departments in a large fictional London store called Grace Brothers. Smith remained with the programme until the end of its run in 1985, as well as appearing in the spin-off film in 1977 and the sitcom's sequel, Grace & Favour (also known as Are You Being Served? Again! in the United States), in 1992 and 1993. Following the death of Frank Thornton on 16 March 2013, Smith was the last surviving member of the main original cast of Are You Being Served?. The only other principal actor who survives is Mike Berry, who was brought in as Mr. Spooner when Trevor Bannister left the series. From September 1972, in contrast to his contemporaneous work in Are You Being Served?, he also had a semi-regular role as PC Jeff Yates in the series Z-Cars. His last appearance as Yates was in February 1975. His film work included appearances in Salt and Pepper (1968), A Walk with Love and Death (1969), The Twelve Chairs (1970), dubbed in an Italian version of The Canterbury Tales (1972) directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, and The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975) as Hunkston, Sigerson Holmes' servant. In 1979, he appeared in Worzel Gummidge as Mr Foster, the headmaster of the school. In 1986 he played Sir John Treymayne in the British tour of Me And My Girl, a role played in the West End by his Are You Being Served? co-star Frank Thornton. In 1987 he joined the cast on And There's More and was paired up with Joan Sims for a number of sketches for each episodes as an old couple. He appeared in the TV mini-series Martin Chuzzlewit. In 2005, Smith featured in a supporting role as Vicar Clement Hedges in the Academy Award-winning film Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. In 2008, he appeared as a vicar in Last of the Summer Wine. In 2010, he appeared in children's TV programme M.I. High as Professor Quakermass. Smith also wrote music and poetry.
Smith died on 6 December 2015 following seven weeks of hospitalisation for a fall at his home. He was 81.

Listen to Lynda's cousin Stanley Bad singing on the 'gone viral' video 'Brambling Fields Forever' (about the £6 million pound Ryedale and North Yorkshire County Council white-elephant motorway junction that nobody uses):
Hear Lynda's second cousin, the violinist Dylan Bates, performing with Billy Jenkins on the hit song I Took A Walk, from the album 'Born Again (and the religion is the blues)', the nationally broadcast song written about Bob's Pond in Brawby - venue of the famous Yorkshire Pudding Boat Race. Too much genius to mention. Hear Dylan's soaring violin on the new promo video Ryedale Sausage Fishing Championships:
