Burnlee: what to know before moving day
Burnlee Road is the spine, and the name carries on in Burnlee Green and Burnside Drive. Around them are Holme View Avenue, Holme View Park and Holme View Drive, Victoria Springs, Victoria Gates and Victoria Mills, and Liphill Bank Road. Nominatim, the OpenStreetMap address search, files Burnlee Road under Booth House and Upperthong, which shows how closely the places overlap.
Bottoms Mill and its mill dam are the local industrial landmark, with Binns Wood and Malkin House Wood on the hillside and the hamlet of Malkinhouse nearby. Park Riding care home is nearby. If your house is one of those reached by a stepped path rather than a drive, a photo of the path helps us plan the carry.
How the van gets to Burnlee
From Bradford the route runs to Huddersfield by the M606 and M62, then up the A616 and the A6024 to Holmfirth. From the town centre the A635 Greenfield Road heads west, and Burnlee Road turns off it into the village.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 40 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
