Blackley: what to know before moving day
Blackley Road is the main street, and South Lane, Lindley Road and Johns Lane meet it near the middle of the hamlet. The Golden Fleece pub is about 150 metres away, Blackley Cricket Club's ground is just off the road, and Blackley Baptist Church is about 470 metres away. Woodman Avenue and Savile Road connect to South Lane.

The Brooksbank School is about 750 metres away, and Lindley Moor Road, the A643, passes a little over half a kilometre off.
