Roughlee: what to know before moving day
OpenStreetMap shows both Pendle Water and White Hough Water running through the area around the village. Blacko Bar Road is the through road, Pasture Lane and Stang Top Road are the other lanes, and OpenStreetMap shows small closes such as Old Hall Close, Wood Close and Crowtrees Grove. The village school is Roughlee Church of England Primary, and the statue of Alice Nutter, hanged as one of the Pendle witches in 1612, stands in the village.
Several homes are listed. Roughlee Old Hall is a late 16th-century stone house with an H-shaped plan, and a late 18th-century row of six cottages, Fern Cottage, Lynwood, Waterfall Cottage, Willow Cottage, Glen View and Rose Cottage, is listed as one. Yew Tree Cottage and Thorneyholme Hall, now two dwellings, are listed too. OpenStreetMap also marks Pendle Valley Caravan Park and the Forest of Pendle Holiday Park; if the move is to or from a lodge, send the site's access rules.
How the van gets to Roughlee
Roughlee is reached from Barrowford. Pasture Lane runs from the Higherford side of Barrowford out to the village, and Blacko Bar Road links it north to Blacko and the A682. From Bradford the van crosses into Lancashire towards Colne and comes through Barrowford on the B6247 Colne Road.
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.

Roughlee: questions before you book
Why does a Roughlee address sometimes look like Barrowford?
Because Roughlee shares the Barrowford & Pendleside ward of Pendle Council and the BB9 postcode district with Barrowford. The village itself is in its own parish, Roughlee Booth. Give us the full address so the right lane is planned.
What is the Alice Nutter statue by the road?
Alice Nutter was accused in the Pendle witch trials and hanged in 1612. Her statue is a village landmark, which makes it a useful point to describe when you tell us where the van should stop.
