Brunshaw: what to know before moving day
Brunshaw Avenue is the spine, and the streets off it come in a family of similar names: Slaidburn Avenue, Paythorne Avenue, Chatburn Avenue, Grindleton Grove, Mitton Grove, Gisburn Grove, Rimington Avenue, Ribchester Avenue, Waddington Avenue and Bowland Avenue. With so many similar names, give the driver the full street name and the postcode, not just 'the avenue off Brunshaw Avenue'. The whole estate is inside a 20 mph zone.
Brunshaw Primary School is on Morse Street and Brunshaw Methodist Church on Rimington Avenue, with a Tesco Express on Brunshaw Road. Unity College, a secondary school, is nearby, and so is the open ground at Rowley: Rowley Lake was dug in the 1980s to divert the River Brun away from old mine workings. Pike Hill adjoins Brunshaw.
How the van gets to Brunshaw
Burnley is reached from Bradford by way of Colne, where the M65 ends, and then west along the motorway. Brunshaw Road is the through road for the district: it joins Brunshaw Avenue, Red Lees Road and Rowley Lane, and it also meets Brownside Road, the road out to Worsthorne.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 55 to 70 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
