Brandy Carr: what to know before moving day
Brandy Carr Road starts at Kirkhamgate, on the Wakefield to Batley road, crosses the Alverthorpe Beck at Beck Bottom and then runs past fields, houses and Brandy Carr Nurseries, which grow rhubarb and liquorice plants, to the A650 at its eastern end. This is Rhubarb Triangle country. Kirkhamgate's Lindale Methodist Church, with its community centre beside it, is on the same road.
The biggest neighbours are not houses: West Yorkshire Police has Bishopgarth House and its learning and development centre here, and a police base marked NPAS 31 Carr Gate is next door. For homes, the map shows small groups such as Tudor Lawns, Edward Court and Melbourne Mews near Lawns Lane, with The Malt Shovel and the Carr Gate club nearby. Brandy Carr Hill is marked as a summit on the map.
How the van gets to Brandy Carr
From Bradford the A650 runs straight to junction 41 of the M1 and on towards Wakefield, and Brandy Carr Road meets it at the road's eastern end. Jerry Clay Lane links across to Wrenthorpe. For a house along the lane, send a photo of the entrance so the driver knows where the van can pull in off the road.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 40 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
