Cridling Stubbs: what to know before moving day
Cobcroft Lane is the main road through, with Wrights Lane and Northfield Lane off it and Stubbs Lane further west. The village hall is on the map, and so is Darrington Quarry. The Knottingley to Shaftholme line passes close by, with level crossings named Cridling Stubbs, England Lane and Springlodge.
In 1967 a hoard of 3,330 Roman coins in a jar, dating from the 4th century, was found near the village. Like its neighbours it was in the West Riding until 1974 and in Selby district until 2023. With so few houses, a house name may not be enough; send the full postcode.
How the van gets to Cridling Stubbs
From Bradford the M62 runs east to junction 33 at Ferrybridge, which serves the A162 and the A1. Knottingley is close by. In the village the lanes are Cobcroft Lane, Northfield Lane and Stubbs Lane, and the level crossings are close, so leave a little slack in the timing.
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.
