Where to stay in Hall Bower
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
A hamlet of this size keeps no hotel, so the practical choice is Huddersfield two miles north, or a private let in Hall Bower itself with Castle Hill filling the view. Newsome is the nearer village. Farnley Hey and Victoria Tower are the reasons to come up here at all, and both are within reach of a car left on the lane rather than a hotel forecourt. Rooms sit down in the town.

About Hall Bower
What are the main landmarks in Hall Bower?
Two names, no high street. Victoria Tower and Farnley Hey are what the record attaches to Hall Bower, a tower and a house, and between them they account for everything listed in a hamlet of this size. Farnley Hey is the domestic entry.
Castle Hill stands over the whole of it and Newsome sits just below, which leaves the place with more skyline than street frontage.
What is the history of Hall Bower?
Hall Bower stayed a hamlet. Huddersfield grew two miles to the north while this pocket of West Yorkshire kept the scale the word hamlet implies, a cluster of buildings under Castle Hill rather than a town with a centre of its own. No charter year is recorded for it.
What survives under its own name is Victoria Tower and Farnley Hey, and nothing gives either of them a date.
Where is Hall Bower?
Hall Bower lies two miles south of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, England, in the shadow of Castle Hill and just above the village of Newsome.
