Moving in Hainworth Shaw: what to know first
Everything here hangs off Shaw Lane, which changes character along its length: a 20 mph stretch at one end, 40 mph past the houses and the national limit further south towards the Guide Inn. It is also the lane for Shaw Quarry, so expect working vehicles on a weekday. A long van should pull off it to load, so tell us about any yard, drive or gateway at the house.
Back Shaw Lane is a minor lane that loops behind Shaw Lane, and some houses are easier to reach from it; say which lane your front door faces. The Guide Inn car park at the crossroads is for customers, so it is not somewhere to leave a car while the van loads. If a neighbour's car usually sits where the van would stop, a word the day before helps.
Hainworth Shaw: the local picture
Shaw Quarry, which works sandstone, is right beside the houses, and quarrying gave the people of Hainworth a third living alongside farming and textiles. Lower Peartree Farm and Back Shaw Farm are the farms around it, and Gingerbread Clough runs down the slope towards the Worth Valley.
Shaw Lane is the through road, a 40 mph lane past the houses that rises to the national limit on its southern stretch. Back Shaw Lane loops behind it. If the house has a name rather than a number, give that name along with the postcode.
At the crossroads to the south, a mid-18th-century guidestone on Ryecroft Road points hands towards Keighley, Halifax, Bingley and Hainworth. It is Grade II listed. The Keighley Model Aircraft Club flies from a field nearby.
How the van gets to Hainworth Shaw
The van comes out of Bradford on the B6144 through Wilsden and Cullingworth, takes the B6429 Halifax Road a short way, then Keighley Road north before turning on to Shaw Lane. The Guide Inn on Keighley Road is the landmark close to that turn, and the whole run is roughly 20 to 35 minutes.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 20 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Hainworth Shaw
Is the quarry traffic a problem on moving day?
It can slow things on a weekday, because Shaw Lane is the road Shaw Quarry sits on. Say which side of the lane the house is on and whether there is a yard or drive, and the van can pull off the road to load.
Which way does the van take from Hainworth Shaw into Keighley?
North along Shaw Lane to Glen Lee Lane and Park Lane, which brings it into the town by Coney Lane, about two miles. It avoids the steep, setted Hainworth Lane down to Ingrow.
Does Hainworth Shaw share Hainworth's postcode and ward?
Yes. Hainworth Shaw is the eastern edge of Hainworth, between the hamlet and Harden Moor, with the same BD21 5 postcodes, the same civil parish of Keighley and the Keighley East ward. Give the house name, if it has one, as well as the postcode.
