Longwood is the home of the Longwood Sing, an annual event, where Choirs from around the area gather to sing Hymns and songs. Near the amphitheatre, where the sing takes place, the rather unimpressive Folly Longwood Tower can be found. It is thought that the tower was built by local woollen Mill workers during a period of little, or no work. Longwood was built up around the woollen industry and its mills, most of which have now been demolished and replaced by housing. As a result of this the village has recently seen an influx of new inhabitants. A campaign is underway to save the Longwood Allotment Plots (situated behind the Mechanics Institute) from being developed into housing. Longwood has a Parish Church ( St. Marks C Of E ). Longwood is also home to the 27th Longwood Scout Group. The Scout group meets every Friday evening at the Parish Centre. There are also Beavers meeting on a Thursday, Cubs meeting on a Tuesday and Explorers on a Wednesday. REFERENCE The Huddersfield Daily Examiner - Plot holders' protest picnic - 15 July 2005 |
