Holme Wood

Holme Wood is a large post-war housing estate in Bradford, West Yorkshire, lying to the east of the city centre. Built mainly in the mid-20th century, it was planned with clusters of cul-de-sacs and pedestrian routes that link small shopping parades, primary schools and a local health centre. Housing is a mix of council-owned and privately owned homes; gardens, play areas and strips of trees are woven through the streets, giving residents ready access to outdoor space.

Local services are focused on a community centre and a few small shopping areas where cafes, convenience stores and specialist shops serve day-to-day needs. A residents' association runs activities for children and older people and supports informal allotments and seasonal events. Regular bus links connect Holme Wood with Bradford city centre and neighbouring suburbs, while schools and playgrounds provide centres for daily life. The estate's name appears on street signs and in community groups, anchoring local identity.
