The band room was built by members and supporters in 1924; the datestone is inscribed 'Holme Band 1924'. The modern sign shows the current name 'Holme Silver Band'. The extension on the left evidently provides modern amenities perhaps lacking in the original building. The band was founded in 1865 by Samuel Broadhead. They were 2nd Section Champions of Great Britain in 1999, following which they were promoted to the 1st Section, and won the UK contest in 2009. See http://holme-band.co.uk/.
