Moving in Crow Trees: what to know first
Crow Trees is a few houses where Blacko Bar Road bridges White Hough Water, with Crowtrees Grove beside the school. Blacko Bar Road and Jinny Lane are the through roads; Ridge Lane, Barley New Road and Stang Top Road are unclassified lanes, and Pasture Lane, the way through to Higherford, has a 7.5-tonne weight limit. Roughlee Church of England Primary has its address on Blacko Bar Road here, so a weekday move goes best outside drop-off and pick-up times.
Crow Trees: the local picture
The village school is here rather than in Roughlee itself: Roughlee Church of England Primary, with a capacity of 52 pupils, has its address on Blacko Bar Road, BB9 6NX, with Nelson as the postal town. Crowtrees Grove, the one named close, spells the hamlet as one word. Dam Head Farmhouse and barn, a listed 17th-century stone pair with mullioned windows and a deep chamfered lintel over the door, stands about 100 metres away.
Everything else is lanes and becks. Dimpenley Clough runs down to White Hough Water, Ridge Lane, Jinny Lane and Barley New Road are the other lanes nearby. With a lodge or a farm track, confirm the width of the last stretch before booking.
How the van gets to Crow Trees
Blacko Bar Road is the road through Crow Trees, crossing White Hough Water on a small bridge. On the suggested route from Bradford the van comes over the moor road to Laneshaw Bridge, through Colne and into Barrowford on the B6247, north on the A682 Gisburn Road, then out along Pasture Lane. Our estimate from Bradford is roughly 50 to 65 minutes, the last few on the lane past the school.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 65 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Crow Trees
Is it Crow Trees or Crowtrees?
Both appear. The Ordnance Survey and the parish history call the hamlet Crow Trees, while the close beside the school is Crowtrees Grove. Either will reach us, but give the postcode so the van finds the right lane.
Why does a Crow Trees address end in Nelson?
Because Nelson is the post town used in many BB9 addresses out here, the local school's included. The hamlet is still in Roughlee Booth parish and the Barrowford & Pendleside ward of Pendle.
Does the school on Blacko Bar Road affect a move?
It can on a weekday. Roughlee Church of England Primary, with room for 52 pupils, has its address on Blacko Bar Road, so we aim to arrive after the morning drop-off. Tell us if your house is close to the school gate.
