Hi Chris, Yes, you are right - the search term on Google only brings up web pages which include "Boars Head" and Huddersfield - not "The Boars Head IN Huddersfield". Google was, as usual, my first port of call. I feel that there probably aren't any pictures of the pub - it certainly doesn't appear to have been a classy establishment, probably more sawdust than anything.

Ellen - I think you'll find that Maureen has already located where the pub used to be. She is hoping to find a photo of it. Maureen - It's a long, and possibly fruitless search, but there may be a photo in one of the many books of vintage photos of the area. I have a few books myself and will try to have a look today. It's such a shame that these photos aren't indexed in any way. There is actually a book called Huddersfield Pubs (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Huddersfield-Pubs-Images-England/dp/0752441655/ref= sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259564465&sr=8-2 ) but I don't have a copy - perhaps someone else on the list has it.
