Hambleton (Selby): what to know before moving day
The A63 is Main Road through the village. Off it are Station Road, Station Close and Station View, Chapel Street, Back Lane and the Garth streets (Garth Lane, Garth Road, Garth Drive, Garth Close and Garth View), plus newer roads such as Kingston Drive, Yorkdale Drive and Toll Bar Close. The Red Lion and The Owl are the pubs, and there is a village shop, the village hall and the Church of England primary school.
St Mary's Church was built in 1882, and the parish has six Grade II listed buildings: four houses, a milestone and the church. The station off Station Road closed to passengers in 1959, and Hambleton Junction, where the East Coast Main Line meets the Leeds to Selby line, is just north of the village. The Wheatsheaf pub closed in 2014 and was knocked down in 2015, so do not use it as a landmark.
How the van gets to Hambleton (Selby)
Hambleton lies about 5 miles east of junction 42 of the A1(M), along the A63 through Monk Fryston. East of the village the A63 crosses the Selby Diversion of the East Coast Main Line and meets the A1238, the former A63, at a roundabout, before the Selby bypass. From Bradford the M62 and A1(M) lead to junction 42, and the whole run is estimated at roughly 45 to 60 minutes.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
