About Holmfield
Where to stay in Holmfield
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Rooms are a town matter here. Holmfield keeps houses rather than hotels, and the two miles down Halifax Road into Halifax are short enough that most visitors book in the centre and treat this northern edge as ground to pass through. That trip is the whole calculation.
Anyone choosing a bed out near Ovenden United Reformed Church is taking quiet over convenience, and the run back into town is the trade-off.
About Holmfield
What are the main landmarks in Holmfield?
Three names make the list. Ovenden United Reformed Church is the nonconformist mark on the district, Lower Lime House keeps an older house name, and the pair of dwellings recorded as 58 and 60, Halifax Road stands along the road that carries Holmfield into Halifax. Nothing here is monumental.
The interest lies in ordinary West Yorkshire stone, and in the way a chapel, a house name and a numbered pair on the main road still fix the place.
What is the history of Holmfield?
No charter marks the beginning. Holmfield's past is legible mainly in what stands, since no founding date attaches to the area: Lower Lime House, Ovenden United Reformed Church, and the pair of houses recorded as 58 and 60, Halifax Road. Halifax Road names the link.
Growth reached Holmfield outward from Halifax rather than the other way about, which is why the area is still measured in miles from the town centre rather than by a date of its own.
Where is Holmfield?
Two miles separate it from the centre. Holmfield stands north of Halifax in West Yorkshire, England, on the line Halifax Road takes out of the town.
