Booth (Luddenden): what to know before moving day
The hamlet is gathered where four lanes come together: Dean House Lane, Bank House Lane, Jerusalem Lane and Booth Hill. Cow Lane, a little way off, is mapped with a sett surface, and Mill Lane and Holme House Lane are recorded as tracks rather than roads, which is worth knowing before a van is sent down one. Booth Cricket Club has its ground close by, there is a play park, and Calderdale Council looks after the Jerusalem Farm Local Nature Reserve nearby.
The best-known house is Broadfold, a large stone house of 1877 with a Mansard roof and a portico on paired Ionic columns, later divided into flats; its terrace wall with a fountain pool is listed too. Lower Holme House is older, from the 17th or early 18th century, with its entrance in a lean-to at the back. Moving out of a flat in a converted house like Broadfold usually means a shared entrance and stairs, so mention it when you book.
How the van gets to Booth (Luddenden)
Dean House Lane runs south from Booth down towards the top of Luddenden, and Jerusalem Lane heads off westwards. From Bradford the van comes through Halifax and along Burnley Road (the A646) to Luddenden Foot, then climbs through Luddenden, so the run from Bradford is roughly 30 to 45 minutes before the last slow mile.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 30 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Booth (Luddenden): questions before you book
Mill Lane looks like the short way from Luddenden. Will the van use it?
Probably not. OpenStreetMap records Mill Lane, which runs up the valley from Luddenden to Booth, as a track rather than a road, so the plan is to use Dean House Lane, which is mapped as an ordinary road.
