About

Scholes and Hunsworth sit within the Spen Valley area of Kirklees, a mix of lanes, pasture and rows of stone housing that grew up around the woollen industry. The settlement pattern includes small terraces, detached farms and a handful of converted mill buildings, with a primary school and village hall serving local needs. Paths and public rights of way run between fields and lanes, and small streams that feed the River Spen rise in nearby hollows, shaping the local topography and field drainage.

The area retains traces of its working past: mill chimneys have gone but stone gateposts and former loading yards remain in lane corners, and a short terrace of former weavers’ cottages survives along one of the older streets. Hunsworth Hall farmhouse stands close to Hunsworth Lane and marks an older farm nucleus that predates the 19th-century expansion. Today most travel and shopping go outside the immediate area, while local community groups use the hall and green spaces for events and conservation projects.
