Marsh (Huddersfield): what to know before moving day
The name is said to come from wetland that was drained before the houses were built, and the area was once known as Paddock-with-Marsh. Westbourne Road has the post office, pharmacies, cafes and a Co-op, and Holy Trinity Church, built between 1816 and 1819, stands at the eastern end next to the town centre. Huddersfield Grammar School is on Luck Lane, and Gledholt Woods nature reserve and the Marsh Fold gates of Greenhead Park, put up in 1884, are close by.
The housing runs from cottages to villas. Listed buildings include 46 to 52 Luck Lane, a stone terrace of the early or mid 19th century, a row of five 18th-century cottages at 4 to 8 Mount Road, the Croppers Arms and the Marsh Liberal Club on New Hey Road, and Royds Mount, a larger house on Luck Lane. Off Westbourne Road the side streets include Mitre Street, Glebe Street and Eldon Road; tell us the exact street and whether there is room to stop outside.
How the van gets to Marsh (Huddersfield)
Marsh sits on the A640: Westbourne Road leaves the ring road on the western side of the centre and becomes New Hey Road as it heads out through Oakes and Salendine Nook to Outlane. Luck Lane and Gledholt Road are two of the roads branching off, and Thornhill Road links Marsh north to the A629 at Edgerton.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 40 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
