H81

H81 is a postcode district within the H postcode area, which serves parts of West Yorkshire in northern England. The district lies to the east of the city of Huddersfield and includes a mixture of residential suburbs, industrial estates and some rural fringe communities. Its boundaries encompass the villages and localities of Clifton, Longwood, and two sections of the town of Brighouse, as well as sections of the civil parish of Golcar.

The H postcode area, introduced in 1974, was designed to facilitate the sorting and delivery of mail for the Huddersfield region. Within this framework, H81 is one of the outer districts, and its alphanumeric code is used in postal addresses to identify the specific delivery sector. The district’s post town is Huddersfield, and mail addressed to the area typically carries the format “H81 XX”, where the final two letters denote the precise street or block.

Demographically, the district reflects the broader socioeconomic profile of the metropolitan Huddersfield area, with a population characterised by a blend of working‑class families, commuters, and an increasing proportion of service‑sector employees. Local amenities include primary schools, community centres, and several retail parks that serve both residents and nearby rural settlements.

Transport links in H81 are anchored by the A62 road, which runs east–west through the district, providing connections to Huddersfield, Leeds and the M62 motorway. Public transport is supplemented by regular bus services operated by local providers, and the nearby Huddersfield railway station offers rail connections to major cities such as Manchester and Sheffield.

Overall, H81 functions as an integral component of the Huddersfield postal geography, supporting both logistical operations and community identity within West Yorkshire.
