Holmfield

Holmfield is an area of Halifax in West Yorkshire, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the town centre.

Early maps show no village in the area.[1] Holmfield was developed in the 19th century after a mill, known as Holme Field Mill, was built on Strines Beck[2] in the township of Ovenden, in the ancient parish of Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The mill was a short distance south of the village of Holdsworth. In 1878 Holmfield railway station was opened to serve the area. St Andrew's Church was built in 1897.[3]

Trinity Academy is located in Holmfield.
