Oldfield (Holmfirth): what to know before moving day
Oldfield is small, but a large share of it is listed. Many houses are known only by a number and the hamlet's name, such as 12 and 13 Oldfield, a pair of early 19th-century weavers' houses of three storeys, or 32 and 33 Oldfield, a mirror-image pair dated 1742. Nos. 14 to 20 make up a terrace of seven, partly three storeys high, and 28 Oldfield of 1773 is two houses made into one. Oldfield House is part of a farm group, with two storeys at the front and three behind.
Upper Oldfield has the oldest fabric: the building next to No. 45 has a cruck frame of the 17th century or earlier, cased in millstone grit in the early 18th. With addresses like these, give the house number, the name on the gate and the postcode rather than a street, and mention the number of floors so the carrying time can be priced in. Oldfield falls in the Holme Valley North ward, while Netherthong next door is in Holme Valley South.
