Eastborough: what to know before moving day
Some homes here are flats in converted Victorian buildings. Several listed warehouses on Wellington Road and Nelson Street were turned into apartments in the late 20th century, and 23 and 25 Wellington Road were also converted. For a flat, send the floor, whether there is a lift, and how far the entrance is from the road.
Landmarks close by include the Grade II* Town Hall of 1886-89, Dewsbury Market, the glass-roofed Arcade of 1899 and the former Eastborough County School of 1879, now listed. Dewsbury railway station, opened in 1848, is a short walk away. The old Dewsbury Central station is gone: a bypass was built on its site in 1985 and its facade was built into a bridge supporting the ring road.
How the van gets to Eastborough
The A638 Dewsbury Ring Road passes along Eastborough's edge, and Leeds Road (the A653) meets it here, with Bradford Road (the A652) close by. Crackenedge Lane is the main local street. Coming from Bradford, the A638 through Cleckheaton and Heckmondwike leads straight into the ring road.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 40 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Eastborough: questions before you book
Can the van stop outside a flat near the market?
Parts of the centre are pedestrianised, including Cloth Hall Street and The Princess of Wales Precinct, so the van may need to wait on the nearest road it can use. Tell us the building and entrance when you book and the carry goes into the fixed price.
