Hove Edge: what to know before moving day
The streets at the centre are Well Green Lane, Finkil Street, Upper Green Lane and Green Lane, with Maryville Avenue and Well Grove off them, all 20 mph. Three schools are within about 250 metres: Trinity Academy St Chad's, St Joseph's Catholic Primary Academy and Brighouse High School. On these roads, a loading time away from the start and end of the school day makes things easier.
Hove Edge was historically in the township of Hipperholme and had its own local board until 1893, when it merged with Brighouse and Rastrick to form the borough of Brighouse. Crow Nest Park Golf Club lies to the north towards Lightcliffe, and Slead Syke Wood to the south above Brookfoot. The Dusty Miller pub is about 450 metres west, and the Hove Edge working men's club has its bowling green close by.
How the van gets to Hove Edge
Halifax Road, the A644, runs past Hove Edge between Brighouse and Hipperholme, where it crosses the A58. Finkil Street leaves it into the district, and Well Green Lane carries on to Coach Road and Laverock Lane. From Bradford, the A644 comes down from the Queensbury direction through Hipperholme, and the estimate is roughly 20 to 35 minutes.
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.
