Rose Hill: what to know before moving day
Manchester Road, the A682, is the main road through Rose Hill, with the Rose and Crown on it and Christ the King Roman Catholic Primary School just off it on Calderbrook Avenue. Rosewood Primary School is on Rosewood Avenue. Scott Park lies to the north-west, Healy Wood to the north-east, and the Burnley Golf Club course at Glen View, founded in 1905, to the south-east.
Moorland Road threads through the housing and links a long run of avenues: Romney, Gainsborough, Hogarth, Constable and Creswick Avenues, plus Reynolds Street and Rosewood Avenue. Raeburn Avenue and Parkland View open off Manchester Road. Because several of these names end in 'Avenue', give the driver the house number, the full street name and the postcode, and say if the house has a drive the van can use.
How the van gets to Rose Hill
Once the van is off the M65, which it joins at Colne on the way from Bradford, Manchester Road (A682) runs south out of the town centre through Rose Hill and meets the A646, which is called Rossendale Road to the west and Glen View Road to the south-east. Most of the side roads here carry 20 mph limits.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 55 to 65 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
