Norwood Green: what to know before moving day
The middle of the village is where Village Street, Station Road and Rookes Lane meet, around the cenotaph, with Norwood Terrace and Wells Terrace just off Rookes Lane. It has two pubs, the Pear Tree and the Old White Beare, and the Ellis Memorial Clock Tower stands near Chapel Street and Norwood Green Hill, about half a kilometre away. The Norwood Green Better Place community interest company works to improve the village.
Judy Woods, one of the largest beech woods in Yorkshire and now a local nature reserve, was mined for coal and ironstone in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and bell pits can still be found among the trees. The railway between Bradford and Halifax passes about 300 metres from the cenotaph.
How the van gets to Norwood Green
Rookes Lane runs off Whitehall Road, the A58, into the village and meets Village Street and Station Road. Village Street carries on to Norwood Green Hill and Sowden Lane. Whitehall Road is part of the A58 that runs through Hipperholme to Halifax; the whole trip from Bradford should take roughly 15 to 30 minutes on the route estimate.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 15 to 30 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
