Sadly it also commemorated the end of the Borough of Huddersfield because under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972 control was ceded to Kirklees Metropolitan Council and West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council. This small plaque is on the right hand side of the wall of the Boy and Barrel underneath a stone coat of arms erected at the same time.
