Rawthorpe: what to know before moving day
The area takes its name from Rawthorpe Hall, and the listed Rawthorpe Old Hall, an H-shaped stone house of the 16th or 17th century, still stands among the estate streets. Nether Hall, now a riding school, has an aisled 18th-century barn, and Netherhall Learning Campus and the Creative and Media Studio School are on Nether Hall Avenue. Historically Rawthorpe belonged to the township of Dalton in the old parish of Kirkheaton.
Streets include Rawthorpe Lane, Rawthorpe Crescent, Nether Crescent, Ridgeway and the closes off Long Lane, with St James' Church, Rawthorpe and Dalton Library and the D.R.A.M. Centre sports fields as landmarks. Grove Place is the neighbouring area on the Kilner Bank side. For an upstairs flat, tell us the floor and whether the stairs are inside or outside the block.
How the van gets to Rawthorpe
Kilner Bank rises from Moldgreen, on the A629 Wakefield Road, and meets Bradley Mills Road at the top. Bradley Mills Road, long the terminus of the 370 bus from the town centre, then runs east through the estate past Nether Hall Avenue, and Long Lane links Rawthorpe with Dalton.
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.
