Holme Top: what to know before moving day
Holme Top Lane is the street to know. Numbers 19 to 53 are a long terrace of sandstone cottages from the 1830s, some stepped up the hill, the terrace at 3 to 11 Holme Top Lane takes in 60 Park Lane, and more listed pairs stand at 62 to 72 Park Lane. Pullan Street has a row of gritstone cottages from the late 18th century. Horton Moravian Church, a sandstone chapel of 1838 with a crow-stepped gable to the road, makes a good meeting point for the driver.
Two large buildings nearby are a clue to the area's past. St Luke's Hospital began as the Bradford workhouse, designed by Lockwood and Mawson in the 1850s, and All Saints Church, Grade II* and built in 1861 to 1864, stands at Little Horton Green, where farmhouses and three-storey weavers' cottages survive. Newer homes sit on streets such as Trident Way, Mary Seacole Close and Holme Top Street.

Holme Top: questions before you book
Holme Top and Little Horton Green are side by side. Are they in the same ward?
Not quite. The postcode used for Holme Top, BD5 0JY, is in the Little Horton ward and Trident parish, while Little Horton Green is counted in Bradford's City ward. It makes no difference to the move, but it explains the mixed addresses.
Is a listed terrace on Holme Top Lane harder to move out of?
Listing only protects the building. The practical questions are the width of the door, the turn of the stairs and any steps outside, so measure those and send photos of the largest items.
