Holme Valley Memorial Hospital
The Holme Valley Memorial Hospital, and the Holme, Holmfirth and Newmill Memorial Cross standing in the hospital grounds, were conceived together to commemorate the men from Holmfirth District who fell in the First World War. The scheme was led by Dr RH Trotter and funded by public subscription. The original hospital building opened in 1919.
The site as a whole now also includes the Elmwood and Oaklands Health Centres, Medicare pharmacy, and a dental practice, as well as the war memorial for the whole Holme Valley.
