Cullingworth: what to know before moving day
The old village runs along Station Road, Church Street and Mill Street. Numbers 30, 26 and 28, and 16 and 18 Station Road are listed 18th-century stone houses and cottages, the Baptist church dates from 1837, and the 1824 Wesleyan chapel has been converted into homes. The Co-op, the post office, the George pub and the medical practice are all close to the war memorial garden, and the village hall is on Mill Street.
The village has also grown through new estates of private homes, and streets such as Hallowes Park Road, Sunningdale Crescent and Lees Moor Meadows lie away from the old centre. OpenStreetMap records Victoria Street and Brunswick Street as unsurfaced and Old Road as cobbled, so for those addresses say where the van can pull up. Cullingworth Viaduct, nine arches and about 150 yards long, crosses the western end of the village, and Hewenden Viaduct, one of the highest in Britain, stands just outside to the east; the old line between them is now the Great Northern Railway Trail.
How the van gets to Cullingworth
The B6144 is the direct road from Bradford: Toller Lane and Haworth Road out of the city, then Wilsden Road and Cullingworth Road into the village, where it meets the B6429 Halifax Road by the centre. The B6429 carries on as Bingley Road one way and Manywells Brow the other, and Keighley Road is the lane out towards Hainworth and Keighley.
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.

Cullingworth: questions before you book
Why do some sources put Cullingworth in Bingley Rural ward?
Older write-ups, Wikipedia's among them, still give Bingley Rural, but current ONS postcode data puts Cullingworth in the Bingley West ward of Bradford Council. The village also has its own parish council. Either way, bins and council tax go through Bradford Council.
What happened to Cullingworth's station on the Queensbury Lines?
It closed to passengers in 1955 and the line shut in 1963. The nearest stations now are Keighley and Bingley, and a move here goes by road.
