Post-War Life in Holme Wood: A Chance To Share Your Memories And Stories
Advertisement
The Neighbourhood Project CIC is carrying out research into the history of Holme Wood. We are looking to talk to people who have lived, worked, volunteered or had some other connection with the area or nearby, or who are familiar with it for some other reason.

We are especially interested in people who lived in or close by Holme Wood soon after the Second World War as we wish to capture people’s memories of this period, what it was like to live there, how it changed and any interesting facts or stories. These memories will provide us with material for a short video about Holme Wood we hope to produce early next year.
We are running a ‘memory bank’ event at St Christopher’s Church on Wednesday 10th December 2025, 1pm to 3pm. This will be an informal discussion and give people an opportunity to reminisce about Bierley and share their stories. People’s contributions will be anonymous unless they give us permission to name them. We will provide light refreshments.
If you wish to find out more, please contact Jonathan Crewdson by either telephone or text using 07422 715910 or send him an email to [email protected]
This project is being made possible thanks to financial support from Yorkshire Housing.
