As usual it describes the municipal activities of the town along with industrial activity and opportunities for both citizens and investors. Given the industrial nature of the town at the time the contents are quite 'gritty' in nature but does, as usual, describe beauty spots of the borough and its surroundings.
The front cover is of very contemporary graphic design - very 'New" Elizabethan and showing Huddersfield's industry at the centre of the world with global links for various trades such as the woollen industry, then dominant in the town.
