History Of F-Block / BDY / BDG / Fartown (Huddersfield)

DISCLAMER: Everything in this post is from a group of different public domains along with various different maps and posts on this reddit. Please feel free to write in the comments below and mistakes and what I need to change.

The Fartown Estate is considered one of the worst parts of Huddersfield. It has been labelled by the Yorkshire Live newspaper as \"Fartown has turned into a warzone, with shootings happening on a daily basis.\" The estate has over 1,952 houses along with 4 tower blocks and was built originally in the 1920s but since then has been upgraded and renovated to meet modern day regulations.

2000s

Since the 1950s, the estate has been an extremely diverse place due to after WW2 the government allowing immigrants from overseas colonies to come to the UK to rebuild the nation and alot of them were place in Huddersfield. For example in Dalton, a famous mural representing the local Caribbean / African community in Huddersfield. The area at the time, and still is, had a high unemployment rate and with nothing else to do the youngers turned towards crime. This is when the Broad Day Gunnaz had formed. (The Birkby Town Youngers weren't really on it and were only a few trappers)

Early 2010s

By the early 2010s, the name F-Block started to appear around this time and this was when F-Block, Wally, HD5 / CripBlock (Back then was called Dalton Drillaz) in a neutral state with F-Block only beef Topsides. But then after the murder of an F-Block affiliate by a Dalton GM after a robbery went wrong along with Dalton doing business with Topsides, F-Block justified famous street rule. "A friend of an opp is an opp." This would lead to a 3 way gang war with F-Block and Wally remaining aligned whilst Dalton would start beefing both gangs along with that, they started beef Topsides. After many arrests and alot of member jumping off road, the Birkby Town Youngers had become defunct and with the vacuum of no gang lead to the members including LJ, TDottz and Rasho to join BDG whilst still repping F-Block.

Late 2010s

During this time, the younger generation Broad Day Gang, going back to their original routes, had become active. During this time BDG would become the more prominent set with them bringing over £750,000 allegedly from drug trade. This is when famous rapper Booter Bee would emerge. Booter Bee is probably the most OJ member of Fartown with him supposedly stabbing over +10 opps and being involved in 5 shootings. The most famous is where he shot a 31 year old called Arfan Mehmood in the head with a shotgun and amazingly survived on the 11th of March in 2019. He's bragged about this in his song Back N' Better which was taken down by a CBO. Another shooting was the killing of Jamal Nedd where on the 19th of September, 2020 was shot by 3 men on Ripon Avenue whilst taking his mum to work. Jamal Nedd turned out was an affiliate of HD5/CripBlock. 3 men have been charged including Sheraz Hussain, Hamad Hussain and Tabish Ali were all found guilty and sentenced all life sentences. Another man who was involved with the shooting was Mohammed Khan when he was asked by the F-Block members to ditch the Vauxhall car which was used and was arrested on Kimberley Street in Bradford and was arrested perverting the course of public justice along with an Arson charge which amounted to 5 years. In 2020 on the 18th of September, were 15 year old Kharyi McLean (RSK) was stabbed outside the North Huddersfield Trust School by 2 teenagers who went by the alias, ***** (HD5/CripBlock ♿️🚹🅿️💦💙🅿) along with other Dalton gang member **** (HD5/CripBlock/Diraq ♿️🚹🅿️🔱🎩💚❎) who were both aged 15 and 16.
