Cutsyke: what to know before moving day
Cutsyke Road and Aketon Road, the B6421, are the main roads, with Cutsyke Avenue and Cutsyke Crest off them and the post office, the Cutsyke Working Men's Club, the Christian church and the recreation ground nearby. OpenStreetMap also names Wesley Street, Garth Street, Ramsden Street and Granville Street, and marks Cutsyke Junction on the line from Castleford towards Pontefract Monkhill.
Around Ackton Pasture the map names several estates, among them Aurora, Origin, Poppy Grange and Mulberry Grange, with streets named after flowers, Honeysuckle Way, Foxglove Fold, Cornflower Mews and Lavender Mews, and after birds, Falcon Drive, Mallard Road, Sandpiper Court and Kingfisher Court. Ackton Pastures Primary Academy is here too. On an estate road, tell us whether the van can pull up outside or has to use a shared parking court.
How the van gets to Cutsyke
From Bradford the van takes the M606 and M62 east. Castleford's motorway junctions are 31 and 32: the town centre is under a mile from junction 32 by the A656. Leeds Road, the A639, and Bruce Smeaton Way, the A6539, run past Cutsyke, and the B6421 leads into its streets.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
