Hove Edge
Hove Edge is the area of Calderdale between Hipperholme
and Brighouse.
It changed from largely agricultural to a quarrying district with the
advent of Joseph Brooke Limited in the 1840s.
It was a part of the parish of Lightcliffe.
In 1893, it became a part of the Borough of Brighouse.
In 1894, it became a part of the Parish of Brighouse.
During World War II,
a bomb fell near the football ground.
A German bomber returning to Germany from a mission on
Merseyside/Manchester had 1 bomb left.
Flying over Hove Edge, he saw a light, where someone at a quarry had
left a blackout curtain open, and released the bomb.
No-one was injured.
The name comes from hove and means the escarpment where ground
ivy grows
