Dewsbury Moor: what to know before moving day
Heckmondwike Road is the spine, with Low Road and Beckett Nook close by. The Beckett streets (Beckett Crescent, Lane, Grove and Walk) sit just off it, along with Groves Hall Road, Woodlands Lane, Pump Lane, Elm Road, Well Lane and Church Lane. Westmoor Junior School is on Church Lane, and Knowles Hill Infant and Nursery School is on Knowles Hill Road.
Dewsbury Moor ARLFC, the amateur rugby league club founded in 1968, has its ground and clubhouse on Heckmondwike Road, and it makes a good landmark for the upper part of the district. Crow Nest Park, opened in 1893 on a hillside estate, is on the eastern edge, with Westborough High School nearby. On a hill like this, tell us if the house has steps up from the road or a steep drive.
How the van gets to Dewsbury Moor
From Bradford, the A638 runs through Cleckheaton and Heckmondwike and on towards Dewsbury, and the B6117 Heckmondwike Road leaves Heckmondwike for Dewsbury Moor. Staincliffe Road and Boothroyd Lane are the other ways in from the Staincliffe and town-centre sides. Allow roughly 25 to 35 minutes for the drive from Bradford.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
