Byram: what to know before moving day
Byram Park, the country estate in the village, was bought by the Ramsden family in 1618. Byram Hall was remodelled by John Carr of York in 1762 and altered inside by Robert Adam, but most of it was pulled down after the estate was sold in the 1920s. A service wing, a lake bridge of 1825 and an orangery survive and are listed.
Most of the streets are close to the Old Great North Road, the A162: Byram Park Road and Byram Park Avenue, Marlborough Avenue, Buckingham Way, Sandringham Road, West Acres, Wood Lea, Hillside and the Queen Margaret's roads, and Sutton Lane. There is a Costcutter on Byram Park Road and a parish hall, and the primary academy is shared with Brotherton.
How the van gets to Byram
The M62's junction 33 serves the A162 and the A1. Around Byram the map shows the A162 as the Ferrybridge By-Pass and the Old Great North Road, with the A1246 Great North Road and the Dish Hill Flyover close by, so give the street name and the van will come off at the right point.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 50 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
