By David Hammond
TOM MOSS stands in the doorway of his Palace Shop at the Beast Market, in pre-First World War days. Formerly Webster’s, the shop sold sweets, chocolates and tobacco. But Mr. Moss’s son-in-law, Wilf Ecclesby, recalls that the shopkeeper also supplied sandwiches for artists appearing at the nearly Palace Theatre.

Bright Lights
Coming into Huddersfield on the ring road at the bottom end of town and turning into Kirkgate I must say what a lovely sight awaits both young and old.
I am meaning the Hotel complex. The building has been turned into a lovely sight with the Christmas lights that have been put up on the building thanks to the management of the hotel. You will gladden the eyes of kiddies and grown ups as well.
Visitors coming into the town or passing through must be impressed by the display at night. I hope that the hotel is rewarded by extra business throughout the coming year.

	The opening of the Palace Bar in Kirkgate has rekindled many memories for Jeffrey Elson. The Palace Bar stands on the site of the former Palace Hotel and Mr Elson remembers vividly family visits to the Palace Theatre just across the road when he sat in the Gods alongside his mum and his brother and sister. "We saw all sorts of things. I've got a great affection for the Palace" The Palace Bar has now started a theatre club which aims to take theatre fans to productions in the region.

THE HUDDERSFIELD HOTEL, HUDDERSFIELD - Total Marks: 90
The enthusiasm of the staff at this hotel is to be commended. Their efforts in what might be felt as a difficult location are tremendous. The overall impression is excellent, with novelties such as herbs within window boxes for the cook's use and an old cycle covered in floral display providing interest for passers by. Their efforts even extend to the patrons car park with an array of colourful containers - well done.
