Courtyard blocks and over-shop flats in central Horbury

Cross Keys Court is a group of small apartment blocks set round a shared-surface court just off the centre, where cars and people use the same space. The van pulls in, but it should not block a neighbour's bay for long, so having boxes packed and stacked by the door saves time. Saxondale Court on Northgate is a single residential building on a through road, where the van stops at the kerb and the carry goes in through the main entrance.

Flats above the shops on Queen Street and High Street have a street door and a staircase, often steep and with a turn. Queen Street is one-way, and the kerb outside a shop is busy in trading hours, so an early start or a Sunday makes the carry easier. Where the street is restricted, Wakefield Council takes applications to suspend a bay for a domestic removal, which is worth it for a full flat on a weekday.
