Netherton (Huddersfield): what to know before moving day
OpenStreetMap places Netherton on Manor Road, where Moor Lane runs off as a service road and footway. Toft Lane, Park Mews and Park Farm Court are the nearest named ways, and Field Lane is a farm track. East of the houses the land falls to Range Dike, a stream, and to Storthes Hall Moor Wood and North Spring Wood; the map also names The Range, Slate Fields and Upper High Fields as nearby localities.
Just beyond the woods is Storthes Hall, where a hospital stood from 1904 until the early 1990s. Its site became the Storthes Hall Park student village, which closed in July 2024; planning permission for 261 houses was being sought, with no approval given. Part of the old hospital grounds is now the Stafflex Arena, home of Shelley Football Club.
How the van gets to Netherton (Huddersfield)
Manor Road leaves Farnley Road in the middle of Farnley Tyas and runs east to the Netherton houses. Farnley Road itself continues east to Storthes Hall Lane, the wooded road to the Kirkburton side, so from Huddersfield the van can come out on the A629 and up Storthes Hall Lane, or through Farnley Tyas.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
