Highfield (Keighley): what to know before moving day
Highfield Lane is the local spine, and a grid of short terraced streets opens off it and off Belgrave Road: Raven Street, Eagle Street and Lark Street, Well Street, Nares Street, Redcliffe Street, Enfield Street, Gisburn Street and Leith Street among them. All Saints' Anglican church is on Highfield Lane, The Highfield Centre is the community centre, and the Central Jamia Mosque has its Highfield branch here. Devonshire Park is the nearest green space.
Within a few hundred metres of Highfield Lane are several listed Victorian buildings. St Anne's Catholic Church, designed by A. W. N. Pugin and dated 1840, is Grade II listed, as is its Gothic presbytery of 1838. The public baths of 1867 to 1876 are by Lockwood and Mawson, and a Romanesque former Baptist chapel of 1863 has cast iron railings stepped up the slope in front of its basement. If there are steps up to your own front door, say how many when you ask for a price.
How the van gets to Highfield (Keighley)
The quickest way in from the town side is along North Street, the A629, turning off onto Devonshire Street or Mornington Street, which both lead into the grid. From the west, West Lane links the Oakworth Road, the B6143, with Devonshire Street. Belgrave Road connects Highfield Lane with Devonshire Street and Woodville Road, and several streets here carry a 20 mph limit, so allow for a slow final approach.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 20 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
