Stockwell: what to know before moving day
Many streets here share the Stockwell name: Stockwell Road, Stockwell Lane, Stockwell Avenue, Stockwell Crescent, Stockwell Drive, Stockwell Grove, Stockwell Place, Stockwell View and Stockwell Court. They are close together but not interchangeable, so the full street name and house number save the van a wrong turn.
Stockwell Road is where most of the local services are: Knaresborough St John's Church of England Primary School, Stockwell Surgery, the Knaresborough delivery office for post, and the Stockwell Road Allotments. A shop stands on Stockwell Lane. Nearby, a group of streets is named after coins, among them Halfpenny Lane, Old Penny Gate, Sterling Chase and Noble Court.
How the van gets to Stockwell
Stockwell Road and Stockwell Lane, both 30 mph, are the main roads through the area. The A59 runs through the town centre to the south as High Street and York Place, and Gracious Street carries the B6163. From Harrogate the van comes in on the A59 and turns north off the town centre roads for Stockwell.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 55 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Stockwell: questions before you book
Stockwell Road has a school and a surgery. When is it easiest to load there?
Knaresborough St John's Church of England Primary School and Stockwell Surgery are both on Stockwell Road, so a slot away from the start and end of the school day is usually easier. If you are on a side street such as Stockwell Grove or Stockwell View, say so.
