Funeral Christs Church Colne, Bent Lane, Keighley Road

Post by Bosscat » Tue Oct 08, 2019 11:25 am

Going to a Funeral Friday next week at Christs Church on Keighley Road, Colne. What is the parking like round there (as I know Keighley Road is very busy.....)

Thought I would ask the UTC community for info...

Head towards Ball Grove, a couple of minutes walk and plenty of parking.

I teach guitar on Friday mornings at Christ Church school next to the church and Bent Lane is difficult to park on. There is parking across the road down Ball Grove drive which is really close to the church.

Once we have self driving cars you’ll be able to jump out and leave it to find a parking spot itself.

Perhaps, but it's a very long walk from the town centre - especially if the weather is a bit rough.

On Sunday mornings the church-goers park along the main road (i.e. on Keighley Road itself) which is not the greatest so , yes, definitely Ball Grove car park across the road.

What makes you think that?

No matter what time I try and get through the dam place it's just gridlocked.

He does have a point, for some reason it can be hard work to get through colne on Fridays from m65 to Christ church.

Right Bosscat.. Don't know what time the funeral is,but you are much better coming off at the end of M65 at boundary mill and then turning right to get on the main rd that takes you up through Colne centre and straight through to the church.. The traffic on the Valley can be horrendous.. Also there is a good cafe at Ball Grove lake next to the car park if you need refreshments before/ after the funeral.. Just saying like..

In which case if you want to avoid the North Valley traffic pain I’d come off the M65 at the Nelson/Barrowford junction , drive through Barrowford, fork right in Higherford (after the Old Bridge Inn) and then turn right just before the Cross Gaits pub down Red Lane. As well as being a beautiful scenic drive this will bring you out on the Foulridge side of Colne . Turn left at the roundabout by the Langroyd pub and your heading towards Foulridge.
