Bolster Moor: what to know before moving day
Weavers' houses are the story here, and several are listed. 11-13 Bolster Moor Road is a three-storey pair, 2 Bolster Moor Road ends a terrace, and on Slades Road the pair at 72 and 74 and the end house at 70, which was once a pub, are listed too. Headwell Green is a three-storey terrace of four weavers' houses. In an old three-storey house, measure the stairs before promising a big wardrobe a top-floor room.
Bolster Moor Road and Drummer Lane meet at the centre, with Bolster Grove, Meeting House Lane, West Wood Edge Road and Pinfold Lane nearby. Bolster Moor Baptist Church, the farm shop and the Golcar Lilly pub are useful landmarks, and Clough Head Junior and Infant School is on Bolster Moor Road.
