Brockholes is a small village in the Holme Valley in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is to be found just north of Holmfirth.
The parish church, St George's, was built in 1861, in the Gothic Revival style. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
Central to the village is a small green set back from the A616 behind terraced housing, and overlooked by a church, a chapel and the village hall, formerly the village school. The village hall on Brockholes Lane was built in 1837 and is a Grade II listed building.[2] A late 18th- to early 19th-century single-span bridge reaches over the River Holme on Smithy Place Lane.[3]
Brockholes contains two public houses, The Rock Inn and the Travellers Rest, a range of village shops, and a post office.
