    The Origins of the name began life in 1966, when the town became seperated from it's bigger brother Halifax due to seismic activity in the dales.
    And on the day England won the world cup, everyone in the town was seen hugging all and sundry by the Mayor of Halifax, who was on a state visit, and he duly re-named the new town cuddlesfield.
    As yorkshire people have trouble in pronouncing their 'C's it's always been referred to as what we now know as Uddlesfield
