Skircoat Green: what to know before moving day
The shops are on Skircoat Green Road and the short street called Skircoat Green: the post office, a butcher, cafés, a dentist and a dry cleaner, with the Standard of Freedom pub about 200 metres away and Skircoat Library about 300. All Saints' Church and All Saints' CofE primary school are close by, and roads named St Alban's, St Anne's, St Bevan's and St Ive's lead off the main street.
Spring Hall on Mansion Lane, a Gothic Revival house rebuilt in 1871 for Tom Holdsworth, is the Calderdale Register Office. Manor Heath park is under 400 metres away, Skircoat Moor a little further, and Calderdale Royal Hospital is just south at Salterhebble. If your flat is above one of the shops, say so when you ask for a price.
