Holme Wood is a housing estate in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It borders on Tyersal and also the Leeds boundary. It is the birthplace of actresses Sophie McShera[1] and Jennifer Metcalfe.[2] The estate is managed by Holme Wood Community Council. It is also the largest council estate in Europe.[citation needed]
