I agree that the old maps appear to show the hall near to the working mens club, now sadly gone, I spent many a night playing snooker in there.
However George Redmonds (RIP) the making of Huddersfield  and the Minters book Discovering old Huddersfield show the building over the road which also agrees with british listed buildings which says that the address is 175 to 179 Rawthorpe Lane.
Nether Hall was further on where the riding school is.

Yes, thanks. I looked on Google “street view” and the building at that address matches the drawing in the Minters’ book on page 83. That was pretty easy to track down.. Thanks again..

In the linked book,(1993), page 83, I saw this description and a drawing of the building: https://huddersfieldhistory.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/discovering-old-huddersfield-v2.pdf
“Just past the church (St James Church) on the right hand side of the road stands Rawthorpe Hall. Partitioned into separate houses now, it shows few signs of antiquity but the first reference to it is found in the early sixteenth century when it was described as a timber framed building with a jettied first floor. The timber frame is still at the core of the building which was later clad in stone. On the right hand wing the projecting jetty may be seen, covered now in blue slates.”

Hi John,

Thanks for checking. John Ellam was born in Manchester on 7 December 1837. His parents were William and Mary Ellam (nee Booth) and he had a brother Jabez and a sister Rachel Mary... Regards,
Claire

I wounder if it could be Nether Hall which is on Rawthorpe Lane. It also went under other names namely Dalton Hall (although it is in Rawthorpe and ironically Rawthorpe Hall which was also on Rawthorpe Lane was in Dalton). it was more like a farm stead and it was turned into three houses.
There is a footpath that's goes from Long Lane to Rawthorpe Lane which came out near the hall and on some maps it was named Coule Royd.

John

Re Rawthorpe Hall, my ancestors lived there leading up to 1882.. John and Mary Ann Ellam (who divorced in 1882). Were they ancestors of yours John? I don’t know what happened to Mary Ann after that.. It would be great to find an old photo of the house / area, but it’s hard from Australia..
