Mytholm: what to know before moving day
The streets here are short and close together: Mytholm Bank, Mytholm Close, Church Lane, Eaves Road and Savile Road, most mapped at 20 mph, round St James's church and Hebden Royd CofE Primary School. Mytholm Cottage, a stone house dated 1763 with mullioned windows and a blocked taking-in door, is Grade II listed, one of the many stone houses with stone slate roofs that make up most of the parish's 254 listed buildings.
South-west of the church, the Whitely Arches railway viaduct, also Grade II, carries the Calder Valley line, and the Rochdale Canal and River Calder run beside the A646. Colden Water passes just north-west of the church, with the Colden Clough nature reserve nearby, and the hilltop village of Heptonstall, where Sylvia Plath is buried, is up the hill to the north. OpenStreetMap marks the neighbourhood to the south-west as Calderside. On one of the narrow side streets, tell us whether the van can stop at the door or has to wait on the main road.
How the van gets to Mytholm
The A646 runs through as Halifax Road, King Street and Bridge Lanes, coming from Hebden Bridge centre to the east and carrying on west towards Charlestown and Todmorden. Heptonstall Road climbs north from it at Bridge Lanes, and Rawtonstall Bank and Badger Lane head up to Blackshaw Head. Allow roughly 40 to 55 minutes from Bradford.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 40 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
