Man with a Van Liverpool

Man and van in Liverpool, from Bradford

Man With Van Long Wheelbase is one driver and one Ford Transit long wheelbase van, based in Bradford, 68 miles from Liverpool (75-95 minutes by road). Jobs in Liverpool are quoted as one fixed figure, agreed before we set off, with the drive already in it.

Moving in Liverpool: what to know first

The inner ring of districts east of the centre is terraced. Kensington is largely Victorian terraced houses behind the shops on Kensington, Prescot Road and Edge Lane, Anfield is rows and rows of terraces round the stadium, and Wavertree has Welsh-built byelaw houses round Northdale Road. Toxteth mixes terraces, the Welsh Streets such as Madryn Street and Voelas Street and flats carved out of big Victorian houses on Princes Avenue, so a stair inside counts as much as the street outside.

In the Georgian Quarter, round Canning Street, Falkner Square, Huskisson Street and Rodney Street, the terraced townhouses are three storeys over a basement, with railed steps up to the door, and some are now flats. The city centre and the Baltic Triangle are apartment blocks, and their multi-storey car parks have 2.1m entrances, which a van about 2.5m tall cannot pass, so loading is done from the street. Liverpool City Council will suspend parking bays for a removal at £30 a bay a day plus a £50 fee, with at least ten working days' notice.

Towards the south and east of the city the streets widen. Allerton is mainly 1930s semis around Allerton Road, Mossley Hill mixes semis with terraced streets, and Woolton is mostly semis and detached houses, with a few terraces left in the village. Match days change the north end of the city: Walton Breck Road by Anfield closes before and after a game, and the new Everton West permit parking area, in force since 21 October 2026, runs at all hours, every day.
