Gateforth: what to know before moving day
There are only a handful of roads: Hillam Road and Gateforth New Road carry traffic through, with Church Lane, Landing Road, Pale Lane and Briarwood Close for the houses. The map also marks Gateforth Green, Gateforth Wood and Staker Wood. For a shop or a pub, people go north to Hambleton, which has a shop, a hotel and a pub.
Gateforth Hall is the big house, built in 1812 to 1814 for Humphrey Osbaldeston and used as a hunting lodge. It later served as a tuberculosis hospital, a nightclub and a hotel before becoming an eight-bedroom home, and it is listed Grade II*. Most of the parish's ten listed buildings belong to the hall estate, and the rest are bridges and culverts on the Selby Canal, which crosses the parish.
How the van gets to Gateforth
The A63 runs through Hambleton, 1.4 miles north, and it is the main road to reach first. From Bradford the van can take the M62 and the A1(M) to junction 42, then the A63 east through Monk Fryston to Hambleton, and turn south for Gateforth. Allow roughly 50 to 65 minutes, which is an estimate.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 65 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
