Furniture Delivery in Haworth

One bulky piece into a Haworth house

In the old part of Haworth the van cannot stand on Main Street, which is steep, narrow and setted. A piece for a cottage there comes from one of the council car parks, Bronte Village off Sun Street, Gas Street or the Museum car park at the Parsonage end, on a trolley over the setts, blanketed and strapped. Many of these cottages are three storeys with one narrow stair and a front door straight onto the street, so tell us which floor the piece is for and what it is made of, as old oak and pine are heavy for their size.

Tall pieces cause the trouble. A wardrobe or glazed dresser that stood fine in a modern house can be too tall to swing upright under a cottage ceiling or round a stair head. Many come apart: cornices lift off, tops separate from bases, wardrobe doors unhinge, and existing flat-pack can be taken down and rebuilt. Timing matters as well. Busy weekends fill the village by mid-morning and event weekends bring far more people in, so a weekday or an early start keeps the walk from the car park quick. Lower down at Mill Hey, or out at Cross Roads and Lees, more houses have room for the van at the door.

Before a wardrobe or table comes into your Haworth home

• Village-centre cottages often have one narrow staircase and no rear yard, so a tall piece is measured against that stair before you buy
• Three storeys are common on West Lane and Main Street, so say which floor the piece is going to
• Say whether you are nearer the Bronte Village, Gas Street or Museum car park, as the piece is walked from the one closest to your door
• Avoid an event weekend if you can: the village fills by mid-morning and the car parks go early, which lengthens the walk
• For a farm address towards Stanbury on a private or unmade track, describe the surface and where a long van can turn
• The Changegate car park on North Street is privately run, so the van uses the council car parks instead
