Man with a Van Bingley

Our man and van in Bingley

Man With Van Long Wheelbase is one driver and one Ford Transit long wheelbase van, based in Bradford, 6 miles from Bingley (20-30 minutes by road). Bingley is inside our core area, so the drive is simply part of one fixed price agreed before we set off.

Moving in Bingley: what to know first

Bingley is a valley floor with steep sides. The town centre, Myrtle Park and the streets by the canal are fairly level; climb to Eldwick, Gilstead or across the river to Harden and you meet steep drives, narrow lanes and houses set above or below the road. A long wheelbase Transit is still a van rather than a lorry, so it reaches doors a bigger removals vehicle would have to stop short of, and the trolley covers the rest.

The relief road from Cottingley to Crossflatts takes through traffic off Main Street. Bingley sits between Shipley and Keighley, which makes moves along the valley short: Bingley to Saltaire or Keighley to Bingley. Ilkley and Menston are over the hill in Wharfedale.

A van is as useful here for single deliveries as for moves: a sofa bought from a seller in Leeds, a fridge freezer from a Bradford retail park, a wardrobe passed down within the family. The old item can be moved to another room or out to the kerb on the same visit, but it does not leave in the van.

Parking and access in Bingley

Council car parks serve the town centre, with limited-waiting bays on and around Main Street; check the current charges on the signs. The Victorian terraces on Park Road, Mornington Road and nearby streets are on-street only and fill up overnight, so an early start is the difference between parking outside and a long carry.

• Steep, narrow lanes climbing out of the valley to Gilstead and Eldwick, with stone walls close to the road and limited turning space for a long wheelbase van.
• Main Street and Old Main Street form the old core: narrow and tightly parked, with little loading room outside the shops.
• Hill villages such as Micklethwaite and the lanes south of the river towards Harden and Wilsden are worth describing in advance.
• From Bradford the A650 runs through Shipley and Cottingley before the relief road, and that first stretch is the slow part at rush hour.
