Woodside (Halifax): what to know before moving day
Boothtown's history includes Woodside Mansion, where Edward Akroyd and his brother Henry lived while working for their father, the worsted mill owner Jonathan Akroyd, before Edward moved to Bankfield in 1838. The houses closest to the mapped Woodside point today are on the Woodlands streets, Woodlands Road, Avenue, Grove and Mount, with Woodside Playground and Akroyd Park beside them.
Downhill the land use changes quickly. Lee Bridge runs west past the Lee Bridge industrial estate, Dean Clough's mills and the Grade II listed corona chimney stand to the south, and North Bridge crosses into the centre. The retail parks by Lee Bridge and Pellon Lane, with Aldi, Lidl and several trade and hardware shops, are close by on the map, which is handy when a new bed or cabinet needs collecting on the way to the house.
How the van gets to Woodside (Halifax)
The A647 climbs straight through, as Haley Hill and then Boothtown Road, and the A58 Burdock Way and New Bank pass along the lower edge. Range Lane is the side route towards Claremount, mapped at 20 mph, and Lee Bridge and Shroggs Road head west towards Lee Mount. From Bradford the van comes in on the A647 by way of Queensbury and Boothtown.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 20 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
