Moving in Newsholme: what to know first
Homes here are old stone farmhouses, cottages and converted buildings rather than streets of houses. Green End Farmhouse is late 17th century, Ridge Cottage, White Rose Cottage and Willow Cottage were made from one 17th-century house, and Low Mill by the beck became a private house in 1989. Doorways, stairs and low beams in houses that age are often tighter than the furniture they are meant to take, so measure the front door and the turn of the stairs and send the sizes with your photos.
Gill Lane is the lane through the hamlet, joined by Green Lane and Slack Lane, and they are country lanes rather than streets with kerbside parking. Newsholme New Road is only a service road and turns into a gravel track, so a long van may have to stop where it leaves the lane rather than at a door along it. If your house is down a track or across a farmyard, send a photo of the way in and say where the van can turn.
Newsholme: the local picture
The landmark is St John's, made in 1844 out of the upper floor of a farmhouse built in 1670; church, house and Sunday school are one Grade II listed building. Green End Farmhouse, late 17th century, and a 17th-century house now split into Ridge Cottage, White Rose Cottage and Willow Cottage are listed too. Newsholme Beck curls round the south of the hamlet, where High Mill and Low Mill once spun cotton; Low Mill was sold for conversion to a house in 1989.
North of the hamlet, Newsholme Dean is a wooded valley with a listed packhorse bridge, a clapper bridge and a 1920s telephone kiosk that was used to house water-flow gauges. The lanes in are Gill Lane, Slack Lane and Green Lane, and Newsholme New Road is only a service road, so for a farmhouse say which lane you are on and whether a long van can turn.
How the van gets to Newsholme
From Oakworth the van comes out along Low Bank Lane, Wide Lane and Slack Lane to Gill Lane, which runs through the hamlet. From Keighley it is Fell Lane, Stell Hill, Holme House Lane and Mackingstone Lane up to Slack Lane. Allow roughly 30 to 45 minutes from Bradford, as an estimate.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 30 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Newsholme
Why does Newsholme have a church if it is only a hamlet?
Because the people of Newsholme could not afford a new chapel, so in 1844 part of a farmhouse built in 1670 was converted into one, a chapel-of-ease to Keighley's parish church. The hamlet stayed a farming settlement, and St John's is now in the ecclesiastical parish of Oakworth.
Can the van get down Newsholme New Road?
Only part of the way, as a rule: it is a service road that becomes a gravel track. Send a photo of the track and the gateway and the van will stop at the safest point near the lane, with everything carried from there.
Which of the houses in Newsholme are listed buildings?
Green End Farmhouse and the 17th-century house now split into Ridge, White Rose and Willow cottages are Grade II listed, along with St John's church and its farmhouse. With houses that old, tight doors and stairs are worth measuring before moving day.
