Paddock: what to know before moving day
Church Street and Heaton Road are the spine, with shops, takeaways and the Nisa store around their junction, and Paddock Village Hall, the Young People's Centre and Paddock Junior Infant and Nursery School all close by. Beech Street, Larch Road, Fir Road and South View are among the side streets, and Branch Street, Robin Street, Raven Street and Wren Street are close by. Jamia Masjid Abu-Bakr and the Paddock cricket and bowling club are local landmarks.
Royds Hall, the secondary school Harold Wilson attended, and Huddersfield Grammar School on Luck Lane are both within about 400 metres. Gledholt Woods nature reserve is about 200 metres away, and the River Colne, the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the Huddersfield Line all pass within about 450 metres. Paddock was once joined with Marsh as Paddock-with-Marsh.
How the van gets to Paddock
The A62 Manchester Road passes about 450 metres away, with bus stops at Paddock Brow, and Church Street, Luck Lane and Longwood Road are the main roads through Paddock. The A640 New Hey Road, which runs through Marsh to junction 23 of the M62, is the other way in. From Bradford the van comes by the M62 either way.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 40 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Paddock: questions before you book
Can moves be timed around the schools on Luck Lane?
Yes. With Huddersfield Grammar School on Luck Lane and Royds Hall and the primary school nearby, a move outside the school-run hours is usually easier to load. Say if your date is flexible.
