Holme Wood is situated off Wakefield Road in the south-east of the City of Bradford and borders Tyersal.

The present housing estate between Dudley Hill and Ned Lane was built in the 1950s, officially opening in 1957.

[9] In September 2016, it was reported that several taxi companies had listed the estate as a 'no-go' area, due to anti-social attacks being carried out on drivers throughout 2016.

Some incidents left drivers with black eyes, while others were subjected to being harassed for money after their windows were smashed in.

[10] Subsequent to the taxi boycott, concerted efforts by Bradford South policing district, and by youth workers, have claimed some success in reducing anti-social behaviour on the estate.
