Holmfield is a village which has become engulfed in the twonscape of Halifax in the West Riding of Yorkshire, two miles 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 West Riding’s ancient parish of Halifax. 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.
