Hade Edge history
School
Hade Edge Junior and Infant and Nursery School is co-educational and has four classes. The first school opened in 1882 in the Sunday School, not moving to the current building until the early 1900s.
Shops
There was a Co-op store on the corner of Greave Road and Dunford road which closed in the 1950s. A sweet shop was operated from a private house opposite the band room, a focus for village children after school. A grocery store and post office was the last to close in 1989.
Church
Magnum is in the Parish of Holy Trinity, Holmfirth and there is a Methodist Church. There was a church in Magnum that was demolished in the 1950s, along with most of the other buildings.
Public Houses
At the peak there were 8 pubs in the area serving the many quarry workers. pubs now demolished, or turned into residences, included the Sportsman, Roundclose, Junction, Weathercock and Moorcock Inns.
Quarrying
Magnum Bonum Quarry employed over 60 people producing stone blocks for buildings and stone flagstones for railway station platforms. A hamlet of workers homes developed with a church and public house. Other quarries were Sans Pareil and Ne Plus Ultra.
Hade Edge Brass Band
The band was formed in July 1908 by some members of the Sunday School committee. Various fund raising activities meant that many new instruments had been purchased by the time that the band won its first prize at Stalybridge in 1914. The band has gone from strength to strength and the current bandroom was opened in June 2007.
Football
Hade Edge AFC play at their ground off Dunford Road in Huddersfield. The earliest records show they had a team in the Holmfirth and District Association Football League in the 1909/10 season.
Weather
In September 2015, a village weather station was commissioned and made available via Weather Underground and MetOffice. Readings include current, average, minimum and maximum for wind speed, rainfall, barometric pressure, temperature, dewpoint, and wind direction. Data is served via wireless instruments to an NG96Y weather station connected to a Raspberry Pi.
