===Bamforth & Co===
Holmfirth was the home of [[Bamforth & Co Ltd]], who were well known for their [[Postcard#Seaside postcards|cheeky seaside postcards]] – although around the time of the [[First World War]], they produced postcards of a more sober nature. The printing works on Station Road has now been converted into residential flats.

Bamforth's company were early pioneers of film-making, before they abandoned the business in favour of postcards.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/holmfirths-bamforths-saucy-seaside-postcards-4987682|title=Holmfirth's Bamforth's saucy seaside postcards to be relaunched today on 100th anniversary – gallery of postcards here|date=28 September 2010|work=Huddersfield Examiner|access-date=13 January 2018}}</ref> During the early 1900s Holmfirth was well known for film making;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/532480/|title=BFI Screenonline: Bamforth, James (1842–?)
