Colne Bridge: what to know before moving day
The bridge is a Grade II listed stone arch, and a Colne Bridge is recorded in the Fountains Abbey records of the 12th century. The name was also carried by Colne Bridge Mill, which burned down in 1818; fourteen workers, all girls, died in the fire, and they are remembered by a memorial in the churchyard at Kirkheaton.
The B6118 runs through the village as Colne Bridge Road and Bog Green Lane, and OpenStreetMap marks the hamlet of Bog Green beside it. Other landmarks are the Royal and Ancient pub and the Bradley and Colne Bridge Working Men's Club with its crown green, with Mill Lane and Paul Lane off the main road. The Huddersfield Broad Canal, the River Calder and the Cooper Bridge flood gate are close by, and a large TransPennine Route Upgrade works compound sits beside the railway.
How the van gets to Colne Bridge
For the OSRM route, the van leaves the M62 and uses the A62 Leeds Road for a short stretch, then turns onto Colne Bridge Road; roughly 20 to 35 minutes from Bradford. Bradley Road (A6107) is the link across to Bradley, and Dalton Bank Road also meets the area.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 20 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
