Hall Bower: what to know before moving day
Everything here hangs off Hall Bower Lane and the short road simply called Hall Bower. Lady House Lane, Ashes Lane, Castle Hill Side, Lumb Lane and Cold Hill Lane are the other named ways, and some of them are mapped as unclassified roads or tracks. Hall Bower Cricket Club, which plays in the Huddersfield Cricket League, has its ground here, and the Newsome Panthers rugby league side play on fields next to it. Hall Bower Sunday School is about 400 metres away.
Castle Hill is the neighbour that dominates. It is a scheduled ancient monument, an Iron Age hillfort and later a 12th-century motte-and-bailey castle, and its Grade II listed Victoria Tower, under 400 metres from the hamlet, is Huddersfield's most visible landmark. Castle House Farm and Stirley Community Farm are the other nearby places on the map.
How the van gets to Hall Bower
From Newsome, Jackroyd Lane leads to High Lane, and Hall Bower Lane turns off High Lane at a bus stop into the hamlet. Ashes Lane carries on towards Castle Hill Side. Newsome itself is reached from Huddersfield town centre, which the van reaches from Bradford by the M62.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
