Where the van stops at a seller's terrace or estate in Blackburn

On a terraced street in Ewood, Mill Hill or Audley there is seldom a space outside the seller's door, as cars fill both sides. The van takes the nearest clear stretch and the item comes along on the trolley, which is fine for a sofa or a chest of drawers. On match days five permit schemes are enforced around kick-off, so a collection on one of those streets is best timed away from the game.

On the estates around Feniscowles, Cherry Tree and Shadsworth the streets are wider and many houses have drives, so the van can usually stand right outside. Agree with the seller where the item is, whether it is upstairs, and whether it has been taken apart. Check it and pay before the van comes, as the driver collects but does not handle the sale. Send a photo and the seller's postcode when you book.
