Directions to Jim and Renata’s home in Hebden Bridge –

– which we currently use as our consulting room.

~~~

Updated on 14th September 2025

Here is the simplest guideline for finding our home/office:

These directions apply whether you are booked to see Jim or Renata.

Firstly: here is the (updated) Google map location.***

for 27 Wood End, Hebden Bridge HX7 8HJ

The yellow VW van, shown in the location image, is very often in exactly that spot; so some new clients use that van as a landmark. (But from time to time, it does go away!)

~~~

27 Wood End is the first house on Wood End, as you travel up Keighley Road, from Hebden Bridge. Wood End begins, on the left-hand side of the road, just a few (50-60?) yards past the junction of Windsor Road, Keighley Road and Nutclough Road.

(Of course, it’s the last house on Wood End, on the righthand side of the road if you are travelling down from Howarth.)

The yellow van is often – but not always! – outside!

No.27 is next door to No.29, which is next door to No.1.  And none of these numbers is anywhere near No.25! Find No.1 and you are just two doors away!

And here is the (updated) Google map location.***

Some satnavs can find us; but some will lead you astray. (If your satnav is based on Apple software, do not follow it. You will be completely misdirected!)

If you are using a reliable satnav,

the postcode is HX7 8HJ.

Here is the second simplest guideline for finding our home/office:

Drive up Keighley Road until you come to the traffic lights just before the left-turn-off for Windsor Road/Unity Street.  Do NOT turn left! Stay on Keighley Road.

As you drive through the lights, past the turn off, look at the houses on your left and you will notice (on a signpost, on the wall, at knee level) the numbers, 33 to 49 Nutclough.  As you drive past number 49 Nutclough, look for a parking spot.  Our house is the first house on the next block on the left after 49 Nutclough.  It’s officially 27 Wood End – but some search engines and satnav systems have mapped the area incorrectly, and so it is easy to get lost. (Today, 14th September 2025, as explained above, Google Maps have got the map marker in the correct location)

(If you are walking, imagine you are driving, as in the illustration above!)

Here is the full set of directions

Here are some (incomplete!) directions for finding our home/base. The main problem with these directions is that they assume you will be approaching our home by travelling UP Keighley Road (which is the A6033), from Hebden Bridge (but you might be coming down!)

Our address is (officially) 27, Wood End, Hebden Bridge, HX7 8HJ.

Four slight problems with finding me:

(1) Some maps on Satnav have not mapped this area accurately, and so you cannot rely upon finding us using some satnav systems! You can now find us on Google and Bing maps, because they have corrected the errors in their earlier mapping of the area.  Here’s the Google map link.*** 

(2a) Some satnav systems will direct you – as you drive up Keighley Road – to turn left into Lees Road.  Don’t follow that direction, as it will lead you to the back of our house, and there is no back door!  Stay on Keighley Road…2(b).  Some other satnav systems will take you all the way up to the Robin Hood pub in Pecket Well.  So it is probably best to compare your satnav with the Google Maps location above.

(2b) Wood End is a section of Keighley Road, not a separate road.

(3) Wood End is a block of terraced houses, on the left-hand side of Keighley Road (as you drive or walk up Keighley Road from Hebden Bridge).

When you pass through the traffic lights, at the junction of Keighley Road and Windsor Road, stay on the Keighley Road. As you go through the lights, you will see a narrow road on your right, called Nutclough Road. The house on your left will be No.33 Nutclough.  That block of houses on your left ends at 49 Nutclough.

After number 49, the housing on the left-hand side of the road stops, there is a gap, and a long, low wall, for about 30 yards or so.  The very next house you come to, on the left, is ours. Our block (called Wood End) is numbered out of sequence, so number 27 is actually the first house on the block, followed by 29, then 1, 3, 5, etc., all the way up to 25.

Apologies for the confusion… We did not design this area. We could not seem to get Google Maps to fix the problem, for years, and years. (Or they would fix it, and then unfix it again!) But they have now, very recently – (as of 2nd January 2025), fixed it!  But today, 17th July 2025, they have unfixed it again, by using photos of the blank wall opposite our house to represent our house! (Go figure, as our American cousins say!)

If you get lost, please call us on 01422 843 629.

If you are travelling by bus, the bus to catch is the B3.  It can be caught in the centre of Hebden Bridge, near the library.  Ask for the stop after the Nutclough Tavern; get off at that stop (which is outside No.25) and walk back down the block about 14 or 15 houses, to 27 Wood End.  (As mentioned above, the block is numbered out of sequence, so you will begin at 25, and come all the way down to number 1, then there’s 29, and then 27).

You could also walk to our house from the centre of Hebden Bridge in about ten minutes!

Sorry it’s so confusing.

If we were paranoid, we might conclude that somebody is plotting against us! But since we are not paranoid, we conclude that all human endeavours are flawed by human fallibility. Even Google is imperfect! 🙂

Hope you find us okay.

Sincerely,

Jim and Renata

(But, of course, you will be coming to see One of Us, and not Both of Us! :-))
