Moorend (Cleckheaton): what to know before moving day
Moorend has an industrial past you can still see. BBA, the belting and friction-material firm formerly British Belting & Asbestos, built its headquarters here and made disc brake pads under the Mintex name. Today OpenStreetMap shows a good number of industrial buildings in among the terraces, so a works yard or a loading bay can sit next door to a family home. If you are moving a business rather than a house, say which unit and which entrance.
For a house move, the streets off the main roads are Kelloe Street, Willow Street, Savile Street, Exchange Street, Heaton Street, Porritt Street and Farfield Street, with Snelsins Lane and Snelsins Road nearby. Moorend Recreation Ground is right by Hunsworth Lane, and The Horncastle pub is close to the junction. Cleckheaton Sports Club, home of Cleckheaton RUFC, is also based at Moorend.
How the van gets to Moorend (Cleckheaton)
This is the part of town closest to junction 26 of the M62. From Bradford the M606 runs down to the Chain Bar interchange, and from the roundabout the van comes a short way along the A638 Bradford Road into Moorend. Hunsworth Lane, the B6121, leaves the junction heading north-east towards Hunsworth, and Chain Bar Road runs close by. Allowing roughly 15 to 25 minutes from Bradford is a fair estimate outside the rush hour.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 15 to 25 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
