Moving in High Eggborough: what to know first
High Eggborough is a scatter of houses on High Eggborough Lane and Moor Lee Lane, both quiet lanes, with Intake Lane nearby. The M62 runs along the south side as a three-lane motorway, and there are four level crossings on the railway nearby, so allow for a wait at the barriers.
The hamlet is quickest reached from the A19 rather than through Eggborough village, and the A645 Weeland Road, at 40 mph here, is the road for Hensall or Kellington.
High Eggborough: the local picture
The name goes back to Ecga's burh, a fortification belonging to a man called Ecga, and the parish lay in the old wapentake of Osgoldcross. Around the hamlet, High Eggborough Lane meets Moor Lee Lane, with Intake Lane, Church Lane, Mill Balk and Hazel Old Lane within about a kilometre, and the Aire and Calder Navigation and the Wakefield to Goole railway both pass about 750 metres away.
Several parishes meet here. Within a kilometre of the hamlet, postcodes fall in Heck, Hensall and Whitley parishes as well as Eggborough, and some of the Hensall ones are in a different ward, Camblesforth & Carlton. Hensall Community Primary School is about 800 metres off and Hensall station, on the Northern network, about 1.3 kilometres.

The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in High Eggborough
My neighbour's DN14 postcode shows a different parish. Which council is ours?
North Yorkshire Council, whichever parish it shows. High Eggborough is in Eggborough parish, but Heck, Hensall and Whitley parishes all come within a kilometre, so neighbouring postcodes can name different parishes and even different wards.
Does the van have to go through Eggborough village to reach High Eggborough?
No. From junction 34 of the M62 it is a short run north on the A19 and a turn onto High Eggborough Lane, so the village centre and its weight-limited Selby Road are not needed.
Is High Eggborough just another name for Eggborough?
No. High and Low Eggborough were recorded separately alongside Eggborough in the Domesday Book, and High Eggborough is still a separate hamlet south-east of the village, inside Eggborough parish.
