Mill Hey: what to know before moving day
The streets behind Mill Hey are named in sets. River Street and Back River Street lead to Aire Street, Ouse Street and Tyne Street, and a second group carries bird names: Wren Street, Dove Street and Lark Street. OpenStreetMap maps some of these, such as Dove Street, Fife Street and parts of Apsley Street, as pedestrian ways or footpaths rather than roads, so a door on one of them may be reached on foot from the nearest street the van can use. On Belle Isle Road, a listed row of early 19th-century cottages includes some of three storeys.
Haworth station, opened in 1867 on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, is a listed building, as is its 1935 telephone kiosk. Ebor House of 1829 is listed too, and a plaque of 1843 in its garden wall, at a road junction, marks the entrance to a private road. Along Mill Hey itself are a chemist, a Spar, several takeaways and the Mill Hey Brew House, with the Gas Street and railway station car parks close by.
How the van gets to Mill Hey
The route data from Bradford follows the B6144 the whole way to Haworth, through Cullingworth and down Brow Top Road, then turns on to Victoria Road for the last few hundred metres to Mill Hey. The B6142 joins here too: Station Road and Lees Lane come in from Cross Roads, and Bridgehouse Lane carries on into the village.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Mill Hey: questions before you book
Are all the lanes off Mill Hey public roads?
Not necessarily. A listed plaque of 1843 at Ebor House marks the entrance to a private road, and some houses face footways rather than roads. If your address is on a private or unmade lane, or a path, mention it with your enquiry.
Where can the van stand for a house on Aire or Ouse Street?
That depends on the street on the day. Send the address and a photo of the front of the house, and say whether a neighbour's car usually sits outside, so the driver knows before setting off.
