Moving in Hubberton Green: what to know first
Hubberton Green is the rural edge of Sowerby: old farmhouses and divided houses on Rooley Lane, Upper Field House Lane, Hubberton Green Road and Plain Lane, a short way from the 20 mph estates of semi-detached houses at Rooley Heights, Rooley Banks and Godfrey Place. Rooley Court on Rooley Heights is a block of flats, so check the entrance and stairs if you are moving there.
The lanes west of Rooley Lane are minor roads, and Dob Lane, which runs off nearby, is about 3.5 metres wide with no pavement. Highfield Place is unsurfaced. Buses stop on Rooley Lane, at Hubberton Green Road and at Hubberton itself, which helps when you explain where the van should stop.
Hubberton Green: the local picture
Several listed buildings stand close together here. Ball Green and Ball Green Cottage, of about 1600, is a gabled stone house later divided in two, and its 17th-century walled archway is topped by three ball finials, the middle one the largest. Upper Field House Farmhouse, probably early 17th century, was split into two homes in the 19th century, and Long Royd is an early 18th-century range of cottages.
Around them are the farms, Pine Trees Farm, Rooley Farm and Rooley House Farm, with Nether Ends Beck running nearby. Closer to Sowerby the lanes turn into streets, with Rooley Heights and Godfrey Place at 20 mph and apartments at Rooley Court.
How the van gets to Hubberton Green
Rooley Lane starts at Towngate in Sowerby, which St Peter's Avenue reaches from the Sowerby Bridge side, and runs out to Hubberton Green Road and Plain Lane. Well Head Lane is the other link back to Towngate. Coming from Bradford through Halifax and Sowerby Bridge, allow roughly 35 to 50 minutes for the trip.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 50 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Hubberton Green
The house is split between two households. Can you move just one half?
Yes. Several old houses here, Ball Green and Upper Field House among them, have been divided for a long time, so it is normal for only one household to move. Tell us which door is yours and which part of the yard or lane the van can use without blocking the neighbours.
Is Hubberton Green part of Sowerby?
It is the hamlet just west of Sowerby village, joined to Towngate by Rooley Lane and Well Head Lane. Postcodes.io puts HX6 1NS in the Sowerby Bridge ward with no parish council, the same as Sowerby.
Can the van reach the farms beyond Rooley Lane?
In most cases. Hubberton Green Road, Plain Lane and Upper Field House Lane are unclassified roads rather than tracks, but there may be nowhere to turn on the lane itself, so tell us if there is a yard.
