Lumbrook: what to know before moving day
On the map Lumbrook is a cluster rather than a village: Lumbrook Close, the Lumbrook Mills industrial site just to the south-west, and a few homes along the main road, with the 20 mph streets off Hedge Top Lane further west. The Lumb Brook itself runs to the south-east. Northowram Fields Cricket Club is to the west, off Westercroft Lane, and Plane Tree Farm, a camp site, lies to the north.
The main landmark is St John the Baptist, the church for the parish of Coley, a short way to the east. It began in the early 16th century as a chapel of ease built at the prompting of William Thorpe of Hipperholme, was replaced by a new building in 1816, and is listed Grade II. The hamlet of Coley itself is a little further east, along Coley Road.
How the van gets to Lumbrook
The A644 Denholme Gate Road is the road through, running south to the Hipperholme crossroads and the A58, and north to the Stone Chair roundabout, where it meets the A6036. Westercroft Lane leaves westwards to Northowram, and Coley Road east to Coley. Coming from Bradford, the usual approach is the A6036 to Stone Chair and then south on the A644; allow roughly 15 to 30 minutes.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 15 to 30 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
