You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Holywell Green''' is a village in the [[civil parish]] of [[Stainland and District]], in the [[Calderdale]], district, in the county of [[West Yorkshire]], England. The village is situated approximately ((Convert|1.4|mi|km|0)) south-west of [[Elland]], ((Convert|3.3|mi|km|0)) south of [[Halifax, West Yorkshire|Halifax]] and ((Convert|3.9|mi|km|0)) north-west of [[Huddersfield]]. Holywell Green is part of the Greetland and Stainland Ward of Calderdale Council.

==History==
[[File:Holywell-green-from-broadcarr 46947953035 o.jpg|thumb]]
Holywell Green was recorded in the ''[[Domesday book]]'' as being "a small [[hamlet (place)|hamlet]] within the township of [[Stainland]]." It gets its name from St Helen's Well which was known within the area during medieval times. The original location of this well is uncertain.

==Geography==
Holywell Green is the name given to the east side of [[Stainland]]. It is based around Stainland Road and Station Road, and  built on an east-facing hill. Since West View and Bradley View were built, Stainland and Holywell Green have been conjoined.

==Landmarks==
===Shaw Park===
Shaw Park is the largest park in the area. The main entrance is located off Station Road. The park was the garden of Brooklands House until the house's demolition in 1930. In 1955, Raymond Shaw gave the garden to Elland UDC after which it became a public park. It has a playground, astroturf 5-a-side football pitch, well, ornamental lake, reed pond, arches, three follies and woods. The follies are located at the top of the park and were built by John Shaw as aviaries. The park is accessible by four entrances: Shaw Lane next to Brooklands Avenue, Shaw Lane next to Brooklands Close, the very bottom of Shaw Lane and Station Road.

The Shaw Park Restoration Group was founded in 2010, to restore the park back "to its former glory". Money for restoration has been lacking because of Calderdale Council spending cuts.<ref name="Shaw Park restoration">((Cite web|url=http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/Jason-in-crusade-to-save.6616812.jp|title=Jason in crusade to save park from ruin |work=Halifax Courier |date=8 November 2010 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312104347/http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/calderdale/jason-in-crusade-to-save-park-from-ruin-1-3000166 |archivedate=12 March 2016))</ref><ref>((cite web |url=https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/solvay-donates-1000-shaw-park-4884819 |title=Solvay donates £1,000 to Shaw Park Restoration Group |work=Yorkshire Live |date=22 June 2013))</ref>

===St Helen's Well===
[[File:Holy Well, Holywell Green, Stainland - geograph.org.uk - 254569.jpg|thumb|right|The stone trough on Station Road]]
St Helen's Well is mentioned in [[John Watson (antiquary)|John Watson]]'s ''History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax'', 1775. He gives no description but says a Roman Catholic chapel dedicated to St Helen nearby had been converted into a cottage, but in its walls was a large stone known locally as "the Cross". Both the Well and the Cross were sometimes visited by "strangers", who were assumed by the inhabitants to be Catholic pilgrims. Watson also possessed a deed which mentioned a grant made to "Henry de Sacro Fonte de Staynland", dated between 1279 and 1324.<ref>((cite book |last=Watson |first=John |year=1775 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hDlTAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA279 |title=The History and Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax |pages=279–281 |location=London |publisher=T. Lowndes))</ref>

The exact location of the well is uncertain. The traditional site is marked by a stone trough in the village, on Station Road, above which is the inscription "Holy Well Improved 1843". This well is now dry. Its restoration in 1843 may have been connected with a general resurgence of local interest in holy wells that took place around that time, sparked off by the rise of the [[temperance movement]].<ref name=Ant>((cite book |last=Heginbottom |first=J.A. |year=1988 |chapter=Early Christian Sites in Calderdale |title=Transactions of the Halifax Antiquarian Society 1988 |page=8))</ref> The ''Halifax Guardian'' for September 1842 described crowds gathering around Well Head spa in Halifax, jostling each other in their eagerness to taste the waters, and similar scenes may have occurred around this well. In the late 19th century, the stone trough had cracked and was leaking. It was further restored in 1977.

However, local historian J.A. Heginbottom claims that this stone trough "has no historical basis for its dedication and is purely fanciful". Heginbottom locates the true site of St Helen's Well about one kilometre away, near Helen Hill Farm on Jagger Green Lane. A spring still flows at this spot, filling a Victorian-era stone cistern.((sfn|Heginbottom|1988|p=13))

An early 19th-century engraving of the well can be found in ''The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England'' by Robert Charles Hope.<ref>((cite book |last=Hope |first=Robert Charles |year=1893 |title=The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England |url=https://archive.org/details/legendaryloreofh00hope/page/172/mode/2up |page=172 |location=London |publisher=Elliot Stock))</ref>

===Carr Hall Castle===
Carr Hall Castle is at the end of Shaw Lane. It won [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]]'s 2008 TV show ''I Own Britain's Best Home''.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/45310/PROPERTY-I-Own-Britain-s-Best-Home-8pm-Five |title=Property: I Own Britain's Best Home, 8pm, Five |date=22 May 2008 |work=Daily Express))</ref>

===Bradley Hall Golf Club===
Opposite Burrwood Way's junction with Stainland Road is the road to Bradley Hall Golf Club. The clubhouse is named Bradley Hall. The golf course spreads along the side of the hill below Stainland.

Bradley Hall itself was built in the 16th century and was badly damaged by a fire in 1629.((sfn|Watson|1775|pages=276-7)) Local places were named after the hall, including Bradley Court, Bradley Lane, Bradley Farm and Little Bradley, all in Greetland, and Bradley View in Holywell Green.

===Public houses and restaurants===
[[File:TheRockHotel.jpg|thumb|left|The Rock Hotel]]
The Rock Hotel, at the bottom of Broad Carr Lane, still has the original Rock Inn at the front of the building, which is now the only public house left in the village. The property was acquired by the Andersen family in 2014 and has undergone extensive refurbishment. It hosts various events and is often used by the community.

The Holy Well Inn (previously the Station Hotel, and before that the Waggon and Horses) is at the junction of Stainland Road and Station Road. The inn closed its doors in January 2012, when the owner applied for planning permission to convert it into flats. Local residents successfully campaigned against the plans, and the pub was subsequently listed as an [[asset of community value]].<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/bid-save-villages-last-remaining-community-building-1840240 |title=Bid to save village's last remaining community building |date=14 June 2012 |work=Yorkshire Post))</ref> In March 2018, Calderdale Council issued a loan to a local community benefit society, Holywell Community Pub Ltd, allowing them purchase the building. The society intends to re-open the pub and transform it into a "much-needed social hub".<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/politics/why-are-villagers-delighted-calderdale-council-has-bought-pub-569944 |title=Why are villagers delighted that Calderdale Council has bought this pub |work=Halifax Courier |date=2 October 2018))</ref>

The Royal Oak, which closed in the early 1990s, was situated at the bottom of Burrwood Terrace; it is now a house.

==The Shaw family==
The Shaws were mill owners in Holywell Green, John Shaw giving his name to Shaw Close, Shaw Street and Shaw Lane. Thomas Street and James Street are named after John Shaw's sons.((citation needed|date=November 2014))

===Brooklands House===
Brooklands House stood where Brooklands Avenue is now. Brooklands Lodge, on the junction of Stainland Road and Station Road, was the gatehouse for the mansion. The house was demolished in 1930 and the houses on Brooklands Avenue were built from the stone of Brooklands House.((citation needed|date=November 2014)) 
[[File:The Holywell Inn.jpg|thumb|right|The Holywell Inn]]

==Religion==
Located between Chapel Close and Stainland Road is Stainland and Holywell Green United Reformed Church. To the north of the church are recently built houses, and another church stood here until it was demolished in the 1970s.((citation needed|date=November 2014))

==Community==
A [[Nisa (retailer)|Nisa Local]] shop is at the junction of Stainland Road and Chapel Street. A launderette is next door to the shop. There is a fish and chip shop at the Stainland Road and James Street junction.
[[File:StainlandHolywellGreenUrc.jpg|thumb|left|Stainland and Holywell Green United Reformed Church]]

==Industry==
Located on Burrwood Way are two industrial parks: Burrwood Industrial Estate and Springwood Business Park.

Below Shaw Park, in the valley, are two chemical plants. One is Stainland Works, accessible via the former route of the train line from Burrwood Way, and Rhodia Chemical Plant which is accessible via Brook Drive. Stainland Works is partly built on the site where [[Stainland and Holywell Green railway station]] used to be.

During the 19th century, there was a large amount of industry in the valleys. Stainland Works stands on the site of the previous Brookroyd Mills that employed over 1,200 people in 1857. Many of the houses in the village were built for the mill workers.((citation needed|date=November 2014)) Approaching Holywell Green from West Vale is Burrwood Mill, now converted into apartments as Burrwood Court.

==Education==
Holywell Green has one school, Holywell Green Primary School which educates children between the age of 4 and 11. It also has a nursery (which as well as the school).

The school was built in 1915 but has had many recent developments that extend it to its current size. The buildings are of both traditional Victorian character and more modern design.

The school is located next to Stainland Road and has views over the nearby deer park and valley.
