Crosland Hill: what to know before moving day
Crosland Hill gives its name to a sandstone. The stone is quarried at Wellfield, and the Building Research Establishment rates it as durable against acid rain and pollution. OpenStreetMap shows Johnsons Quarry with its Wellfield reception and weighbridge off Blackmoorfoot Road, and Waterholes Quarry near Sands House Lane.
Houses are scattered along Blackmoorfoot Road and in streets near Crosland Hill Road and Felks Stile Road, such as Andrew Crescent, Mason Court, Greystone and Victoria Place. The Sands House and the Rising Sun are the local pubs. Past Crosland Heath Golf Course is the Crosland Moor airfield, set up by the David Brown works at Lockwood, and higher up the road is Huddersfield's observatory.
How the van gets to Crosland Hill
Blackmoorfoot Road is the one road that matters: it starts at the A62 Manchester Road at Crosland Moor and runs out past Crosland Hill towards Blackmoorfoot. Felks Stile Road and Crosland Hill Road turn off it, and Standard Drive is a service road off it. The van reaches the A62 from Bradford by the M62 and Huddersfield ring road.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 30 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
