Reedley: what to know before moving day
Reedley's homes are reached from Reedley Road, Higher Reedley Road and Marsden Road, which lead to closes and avenues such as Hillingdon Road, Chislehurst Grove, Beckenham Court, Chingford Bank, Borrowdale Drive, Patterdale Close, Rydal Close, Swaledale Avenue and Garsdale Avenue. Almost all of them are 20 mph roads, and Heyhead Park is among them. On estates like these, give the street name and house number when you book, not only the postcode.
Reedley Primary School, Casterton Primary Academy and St John the Baptist RC Primary School are all close by. From 1894 to 1974 Reedley was the administrative centre of the Burnley Rural District, and the old council offices on Colne Road are now the Oaks Hotel. The original boundary with Burnley was Barden Clough, later moved north-west as the town grew. Reedley Hallows Halt on the East Lancashire Line closed in 1956.
How the van gets to Reedley
The A682 passes through as Colne Road and Burnley Road, and the A6114 Casterton Avenue branches off it. From Bradford the van crosses to Colne by Keighley or Skipton, follows the M65 west to junction 12 at Brierfield, then comes south on the A682.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 65 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Reedley: questions before you book
Why does Reedley have a Burnley postcode but a Pendle council?
Postcode districts follow the post office, not the council. A Reedley postcode such as BB10 2QS starts with Burnley's BB10, but postcodes.io places it in Reedley Hallows parish, Brierfield West & Reedley ward, Pendle. Council tax and bins go through Pendle Borough Council.
