The route they'll follow comes down the hill from Huddersfield and winds its way through town, glimpsing the Calder and Hebble canal, engineered by John Smeaton and opened some 250 years ago to lug coal to the gas works, past the old Sally Army Bethel chapel where William Booth was the preacher in the 1880s, and on to the town hall, where massive crowds once gathered to celebrate the end of the first world war.
