Goldsborough: what to know before moving day
The village has 13 listed buildings. At the top sits Goldsborough Hall, Grade II* and built around 1625 for Richard Hutton; Princess Mary lived there from 1922. St Mary's Church is Grade I. The hall's old stables are now homes, listed as Goldsborough Hall Cottages and Stansfield Court, and several of the older farmhouses and The Limes are brick or limestone with pantile or stone slate roofs. Older houses like these can have narrow doors and tight stair turns, so measure before you book anything bulky.
The Bay Horse Inn stands where Church Street meets Station Road, with the war memorial in front of it, and that corner is the easiest reference for the van. Newer closes sit around it: East View Court by the school, Woodland Close, Princess Mead, and Byerly Drive, Hutton Close and Lascelles Place by the cricket ground, names shared with families in the history of the hall and the church.
How the van gets to Goldsborough
Goldsborough sits just off the A59, which is York Road on this stretch with a 60 mph limit. From Knaresborough the van heads east on the A59 and turns in for the village; Church Street and Station Road are the two village streets, and Midgeley Lane and Low Field Lane run out into the fields.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
