Eggborough: what to know before moving day
The centre is around the A19 Selby Road and the A645 Weeland Road, with the Horse and Jockey pub, a Londis and the post office, and the village hall on Selby Road, which Eggborough shares with Whitley Bridge. The housing spreads out in named groups: Westfield Road, Avenue, Grove and Close; Tabard Road and The Tabards; Vanbrugh Road, Wentworth Close and Sycamore Avenue; and Millstone Lane and Mill Croft. High and Low Eggborough, both named in the Domesday Book, live on in High Eggborough Lane and Low Eggborough Road.
Bowman's flour mill stood in the centre of the village until it stopped production in 2016, and the map now shows new streets under construction called Flour Mill Way, Bowmans Drive and Croysdale Park. The coal-fired power station closed for good in 2018; the Saint-Gobain float glass plant, opened in 1998, is on the map close by. On a new-build street, send the plot number as well as the address if the postcode is not live yet.
How the van gets to Eggborough
From Bradford it is the M62 east to junction 34 and north on the A19, which now bypasses part of the village towards the old power station site before meeting the A645 at a roundabout. The A645 runs west towards Kellingley and Knottingley and east towards Hensall.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 40 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
