Man with a Van Haworth

Our man and van in Haworth

Man With Van Long Wheelbase is one driver and one Ford Transit long wheelbase van, based in Bradford, 9 miles from Haworth (25-35 minutes by road). Haworth is inside our core area, so the drive is simply part of one fixed price agreed before we set off.

Moving in Haworth: what to know first

Bradford Council runs three car parks in Haworth: Bronte Village off Sun Street, which is the largest and takes coaches, Gas Street, and the Museum car park at the Parsonage end of the village. All three are pay and display, so check the current charges, and because the van is about 2.5m tall, the entrance is checked for a height barrier before the day. The car park known as Changegate, now North Street, is privately run and has a long history of clamping complaints, so it is best avoided.

The old village is millstone-grit cottages and terraces, many of them three storeys with a narrow stair and a front door straight onto the street. Big furniture comes down those stairs on its end or in pieces. Visitor traffic matters as much as the houses: coaches park at Bronte Village, busy weekends fill the village by mid-morning, and event weekends bring far more people in, so a weekday or an early start makes any carry quicker.

Outside the centre the picture changes. Oxenhope, Oakworth, Cross Roads and Lees have more houses with drives and room to pull in, and newer housing on the edges of Haworth is a normal door-to-door job. Out towards Stanbury the roads are narrow and stone-walled, and some farm addresses are reached along private or unmade tracks, so send the access details with the quote request.

Parking and access in Haworth

Three Bradford Council pay-and-display car parks: Bronte Village off Sun Street (the largest, with coach parking), Gas Street, and the Museum car park near the Parsonage. Check the current charges, and check the entrance for a height barrier, as the van is about 2.5m tall. The Changegate (North Street) car park is private. Main Street itself is not a place to park a van for loading.

• Main Street is steep, narrow and setted; a long wheelbase van cannot sensibly stand there for a load, so furniture is usually trolleyed from a council car park.
• The roads out towards Stanbury are narrow and stone-walled, and some farm addresses are on private or unmade tracks.
• Visitor and coach traffic fills the village on busy weekends and event weekends, and the car parks fill early.
• Many village-centre cottages have a single narrow staircase and no rear yard access, so everything comes out of the front door.
