Crow Edge is a hamlet in Dunford civil parish,[1] situated on the A616, two miles southeast of Hepworth, West Yorkshire in the metropolitan borough of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England.
Since about 1857[2] Crow Edge has been home to the Hepworth Iron Company's coal mines, fire clay pits and clay products works,[3] later Hepworth Building Products Ltd.'s pipe works. From 2005 this has been part of the Dutch Wavin Group.[4] In 2013, 50 acres of their site was sold to the British company R. Plevin and Sons Ltd. Thereby making the site, the largest waste wood recycling facility in the United Kingdom.[5]
From 1850 - 1950 Hazlehead Bridge railway station, on the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway's Woodhead Line, provided a rail link for passenger traffic to Crow Edge and onward by bus service to Huddersfield. From 1850 - 1964 there was goods traffic on the line and a branch line to the Crow Edge works.[6] [7]
