Park (Cowling): what to know before moving day
There is no village street here: Park is a group of farms and houses along a lane, with Fleet Beck running nearby and Summer House Hill close by. Several of the buildings are listed. Reedshaw Farmhouse and its barn, on Reedshaw Lane, have a barn dated 1618 and a house of 1886. The Old Dairy at Lower Bawes Edge Farm began as a barn of 1675 with a carved Tudor-arched doorway. A cast-iron milepost on the south side of the A6068, near Hey Farm, still names the old Blackburn, Addingham and Cocking End Road.
These are country lanes rather than estate roads, so send the house name, a photo of the entrance and a note of where the van can turn. With a house from the 1600s, measure larger pieces against the doorways before the day.
How the van gets to Park (Cowling)
Park Lane leaves the A6068 Keighley Road west of Cowling village and runs south to Reedshaw Lane and Pad Cote Lane. Moss End Lane links Reedshaw Lane back to the main road. The A6068 is the Keighley to Colne road and carries a 60 mph limit along this stretch; from Bradford it is joined at the Kildwick roundabout on the A629.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 50 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
