Fearnville: what to know before moving day
People often call Fearnville part of Roundhay or Oakwood, but for Leeds City Council it sits in the Killingbeck and Seacroft ward. Its postcode splits too: the western streets such as Fearnville Road, Fearnville Drive and Grange Park Crescent are LS8, while Asket Crescent and the Brooklands side to the east are LS14. Give us the exact postcode so the price and the route are right.
Dib Lane is the main shopping street, in two parts split by houses and The Grange pub, and it is a handy place to meet the van if your road is hard to find. Fearnville Leisure Centre is off Oakwood Lane, and its playing fields host the yearly Gipton Gala. Behind a row of houses on Dib Lane and Fearnville Crescent stands Fearnville Hall, a Grade II listed early 19th century house of gritstone and slate. The Grange pub is on the site of an old manor house, which is why people sometimes mix the two up.
How the van gets to Fearnville
Easterly Road, the A58 dual carriageway, runs along the north side of Fearnville and is the natural way in. From Bradford the van can come round the north of Leeds on the Leeds Outer Ring Road (A6120) and turn south, or cross the city and head out on the A58. Oakwood Lane links Fearnville with Oakwood and Roundhay Road. The estimate is roughly 30 to 45 minutes from Bradford, depending on the time of day.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 30 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
