Moving in Goosehill (Normanton): what to know first
Goosehill is a few properties on Goosehill Lane rather than a street of houses, with no estate. The way in is from Warmfield Lane, where The Plough stands about 400 metres away. Because Boundary Lane only runs one way, the return trip to the A655 can differ from the way in. With so few neighbours, turning space at the property matters more than parking, so say whether the van can turn in your yard or drive.
Goosehill (Normanton): the local picture
Goosehill Lane is the road in, and Goosehill Bridge and the Hallam Line are both within about 160 metres of the hamlet. Goose Hill Junction lies a little to the north, and the trackbeds of the old line towards Chesterfield, a Parkhill Colliery branch and the St John's Colliery Railway lie abandoned close by. A junction here with the North Midland Railway, opened in 1840, closed as a through route in 1987, when the track from Goosehill Junction to Crofton was lifted.
The nearest other lanes are Warmfield Lane, where The Plough stands, Croft Head Lane and Boundary Lane, and the A655 Wakefield Road is about 600 metres away. The nearest postcode is WF6 2JB, a Normanton code, but WF1 5TL and WF1 5TN, Wakefield codes, sit within 600 metres in the same parish.
How the van gets to Goosehill (Normanton)
The likely route from Bradford comes off the M62 at the Normanton interchange and follows the A655 Normanton Bypass, then turns off by Boundary Lane and Warmfield Lane to reach Goosehill Lane. Expect roughly 35 to 50 minutes, as an estimate. For a house on a lane like this, tell us about any gate or turning space at the property.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 50 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Goosehill (Normanton)
Should my Goosehill address have a WF6 or a WF1 postcode?
Either can be right. The postcode nearest the hamlet is WF6 2JB, and WF1 5TL and WF1 5TN are within 600 metres; all three are in Warmfield cum Heath parish and the Normanton ward. Use the one on your own post and the van will follow it.
Do trains stop at Goose Hill Junction?
No. The Hallam Line runs past and Goose Hill Junction is just to the north, but trains do not stop here, and the line towards Crofton was lifted in 1987. Normanton station is the nearest, a short drive north.
Where can the van turn on Goosehill Lane?
Tell us whether your property has a yard or a drive. If it does not, the van can wait on Warmfield Lane while the furniture is carried, and that carry is agreed in the fixed price.
