Moving in Beverley (Blacko): what to know first
Beverley Road is an unclassified road, the through route for these houses between the A682 and Barnoldswick Road, and Willaston Avenue is a short dead end off it. For a house on the Avenue the van backs in or turns at the end, so mention a drive if you have one, and say whether cars are usually parked at the turning end.
At the Gisburn Road end the main road is the A682 trunk road, lit and with a 30 mph limit, and Blacko Primary School is close by, so the van comes in from the Barnoldswick Road end where it can and weekday moves go best outside school drop-off and pick-up. The houses here are a small group within a short walk of each other, so the van can usually stop close to the door.
Beverley (Blacko): the local picture
The homes stand within a short walk of the Beverley Road junction, on Willaston Avenue, a small dead-end road, and along Beverley Road itself. Gisburn Road, with Blacko Primary School, the Rising Sun Inn and a former phone box now used as a book exchange with a defibrillator inside, is about 300 metres west.
The older buildings around it are farms, some of them listed. The barn at Great Stonedge Farm has an aisled timber frame inside its sandstone walls, and East Stone Edge, once one house, is now two. For a farmhouse or a converted barn, measure the narrowest door and any turn in the stairs before booking a large piece of furniture, and say whether the van can get into the yard.
How the van gets to Beverley (Blacko)
Beverley Road can be entered from either end. On the suggested route from Bradford the van comes over to Laneshaw Bridge, then takes the lanes along the north side of Colne, Emmott Lane, Hill Lane, Castle Road and Red Lane, onto Barnoldswick Road and in at the eastern end. The other way is the A682 Gisburn Road through Barrowford. Reckon on roughly 50 to 60 minutes from Bradford, an estimate.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Beverley (Blacko)
Beverley is in East Yorkshire, isn't it?
The market town of Beverley is, near Hull. This Beverley is a handful of streets in Blacko parish, Lancashire, with BB9 postcodes such as BB9 6LU, so give the postcode and the van goes to the right one.
Which is easier for the van, the Gisburn Road end or the Barnoldswick Road end?
Either works, since Beverley Road joins both. We choose by where your house is on the road, so tell us the house number or name and whether it is on Willaston Avenue.
Which end of Beverley Road is nearer the school?
The Gisburn Road end. Blacko Primary School is on Gisburn Road, the A682, at the western end, so on a weekday we avoid that end at drop-off and pick-up times.
