Hinchliffe Mill: what to know before moving day
The River Holme and Digley Brook run through the village, and many of its street names come from the water and the mills: Water Street, Water Side Lane, Dam Head, Millfold and Stubbin Lane close to the bottom, with Dobb Lane, Hollin Brigg Lane and Woodhouse Lane climbing the valley side. Co Op Lane leaves Woodhead Road for the upper streets, and residential closes such as Laithe Avenue, Broadfield Park and Moss Edge View sit off Bank Lane and Acre Lane.
Hinchliffe Mill Junior and Infant School is here, and the Old Burial Ground is by the road. On the slope towards Cartworth Moor are Holmfirth Vineyard and the Sheveling Wine Estate. If your lane rises steeply off the main road, say whether a long van can turn at the top or would have to reverse back down.
How the van gets to Hinchliffe Mill
The route from Bradford runs by the M606 and M62 round Huddersfield, then up the valley on the A616 New Mill Road and the A6024 into Holmfirth. Stay on the A6024 as Woodhead Road out of the town to reach Hinchliffe Mill; Co Op Lane and Dobb Lane lead up to Hollin Brigg Lane and Woodhouse Lane.
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.
