Soon to move to Leyland

[William R]

We have a neighbour who lived in Dartford and worked as a "tin-basher" until he was made redundant, with very little to come as a result. He sold his little terraced house, and came to live on the outskirts of Barnsley, bought a new bungalow, new car, and settled down to enjoy life. He says he has made the best move ever, asked if he would go back to Kent, he has a one word answer "NEVER!!" Cheers, Bill.

I live 2 mins walk from Yewlands Drive have a couple of friends who live on the street. Some nice houses. One side of the road is Edwardian houses, with big arched porches and the other side is early 1930's red brick houses.

What type of house is yours going to be?

Welcome James and all the best in your move to Leyland.
I have a cousin and her husband in Paddock Wood near Tunbridge, both ex Leylanders.It sounds and looks idyllic.He's a bellringer at a local church and they have a great lifestyle but it doesn't suit all.
It will be a great change but you're young enough to try the move and go back, if it's not what you want.
Cheers

Hello James, and welcome. Lovely friendly folk up North! Leyland isn't the prettiest of towns, but has a lovely park, and it's so easy to get to the Lakes or The Dales and other beautiful spots . What are your interests? Then we can point you in various directions!

Sorry to hear that James but at least house prices have slowed down a bit and you have chance to select first hand now. Are you working at Old Trafford?

House hunting can be very frustrating in this country. I'm not sure how much they are asking for in Leyland these days, but I think it's still less than in the south east

hopefully me and martin will be able to settle down soon somewhere near london, or somerset.

Awww, James, I am sorry to hear your house move fell through. Fingers crossed for success with the Cumberland Ave one.

I hate moving house and hope to stay in this one till they carry me out in a box!

Hexcoose me!! Leyland down at heel!!! The very idea!!! We is very posh here now I'll have you know. The centre has all been tidied up and a large new Tesco's has been built. The cross area has been renovated and tidied. Most of the old factories have been, or are being demolished and lovely new housing estates are being built. Well worth a visit from anybody.
