Woodhouse (Normanton): what to know before moving day
Wakefield Road is the spine, with Newlands Primary School, the Hark To Mopsey pub, a children's centre and the Woodhouse Business Centre along it. Off it run older terraced streets such as Ellin's Terrace, March Street, Hope Street and Woodside, plus Woodhouse Mount, Garth Avenue and Holly Tree Mews. The Ellin's Terrace allotments are behind, and Hill House Farmhouse, a listed house with a timber-framed core of the 17th century or earlier, is close to the Goosehill Road end.
Health and church buildings cluster to the north: Church Lane Health Centre, Newland Surgery on Newland Lane, a pharmacy on St Michaels Green, St John the Baptist Catholic Church and Normanton Methodist Church on Wakefield Road. Outwood Academy Freeston and Normanton Leisure are a little further. Where the street has a back lane, such as Church Lane Backs or Sanderson Avenue Backs, say whether the van should load from the front or the back.
