Horbury Junction, Dudfleet Mill and the shops on one plan
Horbury Junction grew around the Charles Roberts wagon works, and the site is now home to Eddison & Wanless alongside smaller engineering, electrical and tyre businesses on the industrial estate. Luddite Brewing Co is on Millfield Road nearby. Each unit has its own door and its own hours, so give the unit name and a contact. Dudfleet Mill, on Dudfleet Lane, is another business site close to the river, reached separately from the junction estate.
In the centre, shops on Queen Street and High Street restock from the street, and Queen Street is one-way. A delivery there before opening, or a short trolley walk from the Queen Street or High Street car park, keeps the kerb free for customers. The van is a long wheelbase Transit with 3.4m by 1.3m by 1.7m of space, loaded by hand with a trolley and straps. Cartons, display stands and desks suit it; anything that arrives as a forklift pallet needs a haulier.
What a Horbury business should send before a delivery
- The site, unit number and goods-in window, plus a name to ask for
- Whether the load is boxed, loose or on a pallet, and roughly how much there is
- For a Queen Street shop, the best time before or after trading hours
- Loads are insured in transit up to £10,000, with £5 million public liability; flag anything dearer
- If a unit is unattended, leave word where goods can be left and a delivery photo follows

How a Horbury business delivery is priced
A Horbury trade run is costed from how much is going, how many stops it makes and whether a unit only accepts goods at fixed hours, then held as one figure before the van leaves Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Business Deliveries in Horbury: your questions
Can you set up a regular delivery slot?
Yes. A fixed day suits one van and one driver best. Give the usual load and the addresses, and a price per run is agreed.
Can you take pallets?
Only if they can be loaded by hand. The van has no forklift or tail-lift equipment, so a pallet that needs lifting whole is better with a haulier.
How do I make sure the van finds the right unit?
Send the unit name or number, the estate and a contact. Horbury Junction has several firms close together, and the postcode alone does not pick out the door.
