Drub: what to know before moving day
The name is said to come from rubbish found in coal, which Drub Lane once carried as a through route. Today the lane is the hamlet's spine, with Drub Park and Recreation Ground beside it. Two memorials stand here: the Drub war memorial and the Halifax Bomber Memorial. Either makes a good point to meet the van if the house is set back from the lane.
To the west, the listed Mazebrook farmhouse (dated 1654) and the early 19th-century Mazebrook cottages sit between Drub and Hunsworth. The trackbed of the old Heaton Lodge and Wortley railway and the Gomersal Tunnel lie close to the hamlet. On a lane like this, say whether the van can pull in off the road and whether there is space to turn.
How the van gets to Drub
Drub Lane runs through the hamlet, and the nearest main roads are Hunsworth Lane, in Hunsworth, and the A58 Whitehall Road West towards Birkenshaw. From Bradford the quickest line is the M606 to junction 26 of the M62 at Chain Bar, then local roads round through Moorend or along the A58.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 15 to 30 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
