Hall Green: what to know before moving day
Hall Green's shops sit together at the Painthorpe Lane and Stoney Lane junction: a minimart, the post office, a community centre, a hairdresser and a few takeaways are all mapped within a hundred metres of each other, and The Bay Horse pub is a short walk away. Newmillerdam Colliery once stood on the road east to Newmillerdam; it closed in 1981, when its miners were able to transfer to a newer drift mine nearby.
The housing is on side roads off the two lanes, including Copeworth Drive, Marshall Avenue, Beech View, Ashwood Parade, Micklethwaite Road, Grenville Walk and Low Moor Crescent, with Castle Meadows, High Keep Fold and Bailey Walk further along. The line of the old Royston railway branch passes close by. Hollingthorpe, on Hollingthorpe Lane and Hollingthorpe Road, lies on the western side. Crigglestone Sports Club and Crigglestone Dane Royd Junior and Infant School are nearby.
