Honley
The village centre is perched above the western side of the Holme Valley, but Honley also extends to the eastern side of the River Holme, where Station Road leads to Honley station and Honley High School. Between is Honley Bridge, the area around the crossing point of the River Holme, which today has two bridges.
For more than 100 years the village of Honley has been behind a major agricultural show, the Honley Show. In 2000, the show moved a couple of miles from Honley to a location between the villages of
Honley ShowSome of the old routes of Honley can still be explored, including the cobbled Church Street, once the main street of the village, with some houses bearing a late 17th century date on the stone frontage.
The present day main street, Westgate, is a stark contrast. The village expanded massively in the latter part of the 20th century on to the agricultural moorland above the village and there is now a seemingly incessant flow of vehicles on Westgate, making the minor road almost seem like an A-road, particularly at around the end of the school day.
For those stopping in one of the small parking areas or even arriving in the village centre on foot or by bus, Honley has an excellent range of shops and local services, covering just about every need.
