Moldgreen: what to know before moving day
Within about 150 metres of the Wakefield Road and Broad Lane junction are the post office, a pharmacy, a bakery, takeaways, the Ivy Green and Brooks Arms pubs, a Tesco Express and petrol station, and Moldgreen Community Primary School. Behind the main road are streets such as Batley Street, Victoria Street, Church Lane, School Street, Trevelyan Street and Standiforth Road, and Almondbury Bank leads off. Christ Church, St Paul's Methodist and the United Reformed Church are all nearby.
The area was originally a hamlet called Mold Green or Mould Green, in the Dalton township of Kirkheaton parish. The Tolson Museum grounds and Ravensknowle Park are 350 to 400 metres away, and the Wakefield Road Retail Park is a similar distance, handy for a flat-pack or appliance collection before a drop here.
How the van gets to Moldgreen
The A629 comes out of Huddersfield's ring road as Wakefield Road and runs straight through Moldgreen, later continuing south-east as Penistone Road; Old Wakefield Road is close by. Broad Lane is the main side road. From Bradford, the van reaches the ring road by the M62 before heading east.
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.

Moldgreen: questions before you book
Is it Moldgreen or Mold Green?
Both appear. The district was first a hamlet called Mold Green or Mould Green, and Moldgreen is the usual spelling today. Either works on a booking with the HD5 postcode.
Where can the van load on Wakefield Road?
Wakefield Road is the A629 and a bus route, so loading is planned from a legal stop or a side street such as Broad Lane or Victoria Street. Send the house number and we will check the nearest option.
