Not a "fudge" at all. <br>s are commonly abused to create
inter-paragraph space where <p> or padding/margin styles are more
appropriate. In this case, though, no problem.
Also
<h1><p>Huddersfield</p><p>Canal Society</p></h1>

Is it the two line appearance you actually want? The <br> is best for that.
Or are you just avoiding some messy text wrapping as the viewport width
narrows? Then you could put a &nbsp; in between Canal and Society. That
whole line of text would wrap as a unit.
