House and flat moves in Pellon
Pellon is the hillside west of Halifax, above King Cross and below the higher ground of Illingworth. From 16 Albion Court, Halifax HX1 1YN the drive is about a mile and a half, and most of that mile is up. Pellon Lane is the old road, lined with stone terraces whose front doors sit above the pavement on a short flight of steps. Newer streets and estate houses fill the land behind. Both types turn up on the same moving day, and they need different plans. The lane is steep and busy. A van stopped on the hill is a problem for everyone else, so we look for a flatter side street or a spot that does not face straight down the gradient. If the door is up steps, every wardrobe is a lift before the stair inside even starts. Tell us about those steps. A photo from the road is better than a room count on its own. Back alleys are for bins, not for Luton vans. Estate roads higher up are wider, but they have bends, parked cars and speed bumps. School times fill them. Sandbeds Park is one of the green spaces Calderdale names in Pellon, and it is a useful landmark when a street name is shared with another part of Halifax. Ling Bob playing fields are the other open space on the council list. Neither is a van park. Postcodes split. Parts of Pellon Lane are HX1. Much of the residential area is HX2. Send the full code. Calderdale Council is your council for tax and bins. Ovenden and the household waste site at Lee Bank are over the next ridge, which matters if you are clearing a house rather than moving everything. We move whole houses, flats and smaller loads here. Say which it is. Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book. If the keys are late, call 01422747860 so we are not holding a van on a hill with nowhere to unload.

Useful contacts in Pellon
Handy numbers and links for when you move in. Opening times and services change, so check with each one before you visit.
- Council
Calderdale Council
Calderdale covers Pellon. Register for council tax and look up the bin day for the new street. Hillside terraces and the newer estate are not always on the same round.
- County
West Yorkshire Combined Authority
Buses run between Pellon and Halifax centre. For wider transport projects, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority is the relevant body.
- Police
West Yorkshire Police
Use 101 if you need police for a non-emergency on moving day, and 999 if someone is hurt or in danger. Local team details are on the force website.
- Schools
Calderdale school admissions
School admissions go through Calderdale. Pellon feeds several primaries. Check the walking route you would actually use, because the hill changes what feels close.
- Hospital
Calderdale Royal Hospital
A&E is Calderdale Royal Hospital at Salterhebble, on the other side of town. Keep the switchboard number for the trust, not a guessed ward phone.

- Park
Sandbeds Park
Calderdale's dog control list names Sandbeds Park in Pellon. It is a local green space rather than a town-centre park. Check the orders if you have a dog.
- Library
King Cross Library
The nearest staffed library we can confirm is King Cross Library on Haugh Shaw Road, downhill from Pellon. It has internet access and is a practical stop before broadband is live.

Search with your HX1 or HX2 postcode. Practices that cover Pellon are not all in the same building as King Cross, so check the boundary.
- Recycling centre
Halifax Household Waste Recycling Centre
Lee Bank is on Ovenden Road, close to this side of Halifax. It is the right site for a house clear-out that is household waste. Permits and the van height rule both apply.
Lee Bank, Ovenden Road, Halifax, HX3 5PN

Halifax Bus Station
If you are commuting from Pellon, Metro lists Halifax Bus Station at Wade Street. Local buses link the lane to the centre.

Moving in Pellon: common questions
Why does the hill matter so much in Pellon?
Because the van often stops below the door. Steps up from the pavement add time on every large item.
Do you cover the estate streets as well as Pellon Lane?
Yes. Tell us the exact street. Estate bends and terrace steps are different problems.
Can you take items we are not moving to the tip?
The removal is for items you are keeping. Household waste is a separate trip to a Calderdale recycling centre with a resident permit.
