West End (Balne): what to know before moving day
West End Lane is the spine. OpenStreetMap shows it running south for more than a kilometre, from Balne Moor Road at the top, beside the end of Heck Lane, down to a junction with Gore Lane at the bottom. Jenny Lane leaves it heading east to Park Lane, and Hazing Lane goes west: tarmac for its first stretch, then mapped as a grass track, so a Hazing Lane address needs a word about which end you live at.
Barn Fall Wood sits near the bottom of the lane by the Gore Lane turning, while Yewtree Farm and Pear Tree Farm lie a short way east, towards Balne. The disused bed of the Hull and Barnsley Railway cuts across the fields nearby. Where the houses are this far apart, a house name on its own can leave a driver guessing, so a postcode plus the side lane you are on saves time on the day.
How the van gets to West End (Balne)
From Bradford the van takes the M62 east to junction 34, where the A19 meets the motorway, then follows the A19 (Selby Road) south as far as Balne Moor Cross Roads. Balne Moor Road runs east from that junction, at 40 mph near the A19 and 60 mph further on, and West End Lane drops off it to the south. Gore Lane at the far end is the second way out, towards Park Lane and South End Lane.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 45 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
