South Milford: what to know before moving day
The A162 passes through as London Road, and High Street, Low Street and Milford Road are the older through streets. Some estates carry farm names, such as Harvester Way, The Haywain, The Bales and Wain Close, and older side streets include Legion Street, Swan Road and School Lane. The Swan Hotel, the post office, the surgery, the primary school, St Mary's church and South Milford Park are all on the map.
Mill Dike, where the mill in the name once stood, separates the village from Sherburn in Elmet to the north. About 1.5 miles to the west stands the 15th-century Steeton Hall Gateway, whose hall was later replaced by a house now split into several homes. The parish has nine listed buildings, two of them Grade I, including three railway bridges and a milestone.
How the van gets to South Milford
The A63 crosses the A1(M) at junction 42 at South Milford, and the A162 runs north from there through the village towards Sherburn. From Bradford the van joins the M62 and then the A1(M) north to junction 42, a run estimated at roughly 40 to 55 minutes.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 40 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
