Birdsedge Mill
Birds Edge, also written as Birdsedge but always said Birds Edge, is a small village 6 miles south-south-east of Huddersfield town centre (9 miles by road).
The village is around a mile from the source of the River Dearne and on the main route between Huddersfield and Penistone.
Birds Edge is a small rural community but has a textile mill, Birdsedge Mill. It also became known as Hinchliffe's Mill as one of the mills of yarn spinners Z Hinchliffe and Sons Ltd, a family business based in
Denby Dale
which traces its roots to 1766 and now has global respect for lambswool, cashmere, camel hair and angora products.
Birdsedge Village Hall aims to promote a community spirit and provide a social hub for everyone within the village and the surrounding areas. The hall was built in 1851 and extended in 1870 for use as the village school until 1911. After periods as a village club and club for local wartime servicemen, the hall became disused in the 1950s. Village fundraising and volunteer renovation efforts saw it return to community use in the early 1970s and further renovations were completed in 2009. Among its regular activities are pilates classes, whist drives and quizzes.
Just across the river from the centre of Birds Edge is the hamlet of Park Head, where there was once a pub The Crown.
