Biggin: what to know before moving day
Oxmoor Lane is the road through the middle of Biggin, and the Blacksmiths Arms stands on it. The pub was a house until it was sold in the late 19th century, and it is the only business in the village. The other lanes are Biggin Lane, Broad Lane and Little Lane. The map shows drains and dikes around the houses, among them Bishop Dike, Carr Dike and Fox Dike, and the woodland of Bishop Wood.
There is no station and no school. Church Fenton station is about 3.1 miles away by road and Sherburn-in-Elmet about 3.7 miles, and the closest primary school is Sherburn Hungate, just under 5 miles off.
How the van gets to Biggin
Head south down Oxmoor Lane and it reaches the B1222, here called Bishopdyke Road, which leads west towards Sherburn in Elmet and on to the A63. From Bradford that means the M62 and A1(M) to junction 42, then the A63 and the B1222, with a drive of roughly 50 to 60 minutes as an estimate.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
