Holmfield (Ferrybridge): what to know before moving day
OpenStreetMap shows around two hundred buildings tagged as houses in the area around Holmfield Lane, on Willow Lane, Ashtree Way, Oakwood Close and Beech View, plus the Oakland Hill Estate caravan site. Fryston Lane leaves Stranglands Lane here, and the Ferrybridge Multifuel plants stand a short distance away.
Ferrybridge Henge, a Neolithic ceremonial monument, lies under a kilometre off, and a 2,400-year-old chariot burial has been found in the Ferrybridge area. The map shows no shop or school in Holmfield itself; Ferrybridge, with its two primary schools and two pubs, and Townville along the B6136 are the places close by.
