It's a typical 70's concrete eyesore,which should be knocked down and rebuild a new market to blend in with Huddersfield's historic buildings.
STEVE, DEWSBURY
A stunning symbol of modernist architecture and sculpture...how can it be demolished just because it challenges peoples ideals of what is beautiful? I do agree that the interior needs upgrading though.
Simon, Halifax
This is from the decade taste forgot - obviously. Its interesting and we should keep some ,erm, 'odd' buildings from this era. But why list this building whilst knocking down truly beautiful victorian buildings?
CHARL, HUDDERSFIELD
it an eyesore always has been and always will be if its not demolished!

Keep it. Protect it. Open it up and let us have fun in it. Hold concerts in in.

So much of the past is getting knocked down to make way for more modern airy buildings. We seem to have a mixture of the very old, or very new. How many of the 70's style buidins do we have to show to future generations? Most have been extended hidden or demolished. The Queensgate market looks different and interesting from the ring road and should stay as a piece of history. If people don't like the inside, just renovate the inside. Look how much difference changing the coffee shop in the centre made. A lot of chrome and laminate flooring would totally change the ambience, but the outside is a historic and architectural work of art, that sahould definitely stay.

Why can't the artwork on the outside be kept and re-used in more modern facility? The building itself it ugly and I'm sorry but the whole market interior is horrible. People see the shops as cheap and grotty even though some of them sell good quality goods. It is not a nice place to shop full stop.

Huddersfield has one of the last remaining traditional stone town centres in England - the Library and the Town Hall being excellent examples of heritage - even the Ring Road view of the Queensgate Market is preservable but the townside is neither historic or modernistic so must go!
WENDY, LEEDS
I've been there a few times and it makes a pleasant change to all the pretntious crap we see in leeds all the time It might look a bit old but its like a time machine! Retrotastic!!!
STU, MIRFIELD
Knock the damn thing down - don't protect it. It just sums up Huddersfield as a throwback and its about time we started to look forward.
