Moving in Newthorpe: what to know first
Newthorpe is a handful of homes on Hall Lane and Gorse Lane where they meet the B1222. The B1222 is a 60 mph road through the hamlet, so the van does not load on it: it turns into Hall Lane or Gorse Lane, or onto your drive. A few hundred metres away the road passes under the Hull line with a 16 ft 9 in height limit, and there is a level crossing on the railway close by.
Squires Cafe Bar and Speedstyle UK are the landmarks drivers know, but their car park belongs to the businesses, so ask before anyone leaves a car there on moving day. Highfield, the farmland beside the houses, and Newthorpe Beck, running down to Mill Dike, are the other local names.
Newthorpe: the local picture
Newthorpe was a parish of its own until 1 April 1937, when it was merged with Huddleston cum Lumby to form Huddleston with Newthorpe, a parish of about 140 people in 2015 that also takes in a stretch of the A1(M) and Huddleston Hall. The railway from Micklefield to Selby passes just south of the hamlet.
Gorse Lane Bridge, designed by James Walker around 1830 to 1834 to carry the Leeds and Selby Railway over Gorse Lane, is a listed sandstone and magnesian limestone arch about 800 metres away. Nearer the houses are Squires Cafe Bar and the Speedstyle UK motorcycle shop, with bus stops named after both, and Newthorpe Beck and Whitecote Lane close by.
How the van gets to Newthorpe
The B1222 is a 60 mph road through Newthorpe. From Bradford the van takes the M62 and the M1 north, then the A63 east to the Great North Road and onto the B1222, which should take roughly 40 to 55 minutes from Bradford. South Milford station is about 2.3 kilometres away if anyone is travelling by train.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 40 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Newthorpe
Why do Newthorpe postcodes name two different parishes?
The boundary runs through the hamlet. LS25 5LX is in South Milford parish, while LS25 6JN, about 250 metres away, is in Huddleston with Newthorpe. Both are North Yorkshire Council, so for the van it makes no difference; the postcode on your address is what counts.
Can the van stop on the B1222 outside a Newthorpe house?
Not safely. The B1222 is a 60 mph road here, so the van pulls into Hall Lane, Gorse Lane or your drive. Tell us which lane your house is on, or whether it fronts the main road, when you book.
What is the quickest way from Newthorpe to Castleford?
West on the B1222 to the A63, then the A656 Ridge Road and Barnsdale Road down to the Aire. It is about 7 miles on ordinary roads, with no motorway needed.
