Kirklees / Regno Unito

Kirklees Stadium è un impianto sportivo multifunzione di Huddersfield, città del Regno Unito nella contea inglese del West Yorkshire. Prende il nome dal distretto metropolitano di Kirklees, di cui Huddersfield è capoluogo, e fu inaugurato nel 1994. Esso ospita regolarmente gare di calcio e di rugby a 13, delle cui Coppe del Mondo 1995, 2000 e 2013 fu una delle sedi, e diverse occasioni ha ospitato anche incontri di rugby a 15, in particolare durante le qualificazioni e la successiva fase a gironi della Coppa del Mondo 1999. Originariamente ribattezzato Alfred McAlpine Stadium, assunse in seguito la denominazione di Galpharm Stadium e, più recentemente, di John Smith's Stadium. Capace di circa 25000 spettatori, è l'impianto interno del club calcistico dell'Huddersfield Town e di rugby a 13 dell'Huddersfield Giants, i due soggetti privati che condividono la proprietà dello stadio insieme al consiglio distrettuale di Kirklees.

Huddersfield Art Gallery

Kirklees / Regno Unito

The Huddersfield Art Gallery is an art gallery in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, northern England. The gallery is run by Kirklees Council who own "Figure Study II", the first painting by Francis Bacon to enter a public art gallery in the UK. It was purchased by the Contemporary Art Society in 1946 and offered to Kirklees Council in 1952, after it was rejected by Tate which, at the time, had felt Bacon not to have been an important artist. The gallery is currently closed for refurbishment and will be reopening in 2021.
