The George Hotel has been shut down, all its staff made redundant and guests turfed out.

I guess its up to the new Administrators to decide its future, but what a shame it would be if we lost one of Huddersfield iconic buildings.

Not sure what this means for the RL Heritage Centre which was situated in the hotel.

not like its going to be knocked down is it...will always be their as its a listed building if im right?

the RL heritage centre is a concern though

lets hope a buyer comes in soon and wants to keep some of the RL history, sure they will.

Surely if the RFL can 'save' odsal they can save the heritage centre !!

Obviously its not going to get demolished. It could be converted into flats though.

2nd time in under a year folk have been turfed out. Never mind I'm sure it can be turned into a series of pound shops like every other building in the town centre.

I don't understand why the council allowed new hotels to be built when existing ones (Huddersfield Hotel and George Hotel) were always going to suffer.

They should save the entire hotel. Maybe move part, if not all, of their base from Red Hall to here.

think they have been struggling for a long time and are old and run down...

much rather stay in a premier inn...very good for the money you pay.

I know a few people have suggested the RFL occupy it as some form of headquarters - has the guest accomodation and functions rooms etc.....seems too big a part of the game's history to let it go.

I am afraid it is going to be too much of a cash drain for anyone.

According to trip advisor it is only the 13 th best of 15 hotels in Huddersfield. Limited parking and decaying decor.

Tried to market itself too upmarket when it is not an upmarket place. Apparently only 3 star and charging £100 a pop not much future in that.

Why stay in a decrepid building in Huddersfield at 4 or 5 star prices.

Why stay in Huddersfield Town centre at all.

Huddersfield is becoming more of a dump everyday Sad but true.

Whooooh there's no need for that, some of us have to live here



If I could find a mod you'd be yellow carded

Only going on what my family say and others post.

Shops closing down to be replaced by pound shops.

Cheap takeaways cropping up everywhere.

Jobs being lost.

Historical buildings being left to rack and ruin

A council who seem unable to organise a p up in a brewery and other than cutting staff has no ideas for dealing with the budgetary difficulties it faces.
In some way no different to what is happening in large numbers of other towns and cities in the north BUT there seems to be nothing that says this is our plan to get out of it.
