Yeadon Banks: what to know before moving day
The houses nearest the Banks are on Leslie Avenue, Haw Avenue and Haw View, with Hawthorn Drive, Hawthorn Road and Hawthorn Crescent, St Andrews Road and Whitestone Crescent a little further down, and the Banksfield streets to the west. Above them is open ground: the Yeadon Banks village green, allotments and the fields that rise to Yeadon Haw. Those fields still follow the strips of the medieval village, according to the town's history.
Yeadon's name comes from Old English words meaning steep hill, and the Banks are the upper part of that hill. For a move that usually means a sloping street and possibly steps up to the door, so tell us about any steps or a steep drive when you send photos. Yeadon Tarn and Tarnfield Park are a short way east, between the town and the airport.
How the van gets to Yeadon Banks
Two roads reach the Banks. Cemetery Road leaves the top of Yeadon's High Street and passes the ends of the Hawthorn streets; Haw Lane runs from Silver Lane and Harper Lane to Haw Avenue and Leslie Avenue. From Bradford the van comes into Yeadon on the A658 and climbs from the town centre.
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.
