Offices by the motorway, shops on the old turnpike
Riverside Business Park was planned for office space beside junction 13, and its first phase, Vantage Court, is a set of small self-contained office buildings around a central car park. An office move between units, a delivery of desks and chairs, or archive boxes going to your own storage unit are all van-sized jobs, and the car park makes loading straightforward. The trade counters at Reedyford, Howdens, City Plumbing and the North Valley Forge counter, are just across the boundary in Nelson for a collection on the way.
Further up the village, the businesses face the A682. Shops, restaurants and pubs such as the White Bear and the George and Dragon sit on Gisburn Road, where the van cannot wait on the main road, so deliveries come in from a side street or a back lane. At Higherford Mill the old weaving shed now holds artists' workshops, and a run with finished work, stands or materials to a show or a gallery is one more thing a single dedicated van does well.
