Directions from Newhey to our Rochdale base
Newhey is the village after Milnrow, tucked against the motorway on the south-east edge of the borough. Stone terraces and newer houses sit around the tram stop and Newhey Road. Many have no drive, so the van takes a kerb that is already used by residents. The way from Swain Street runs through the east of Rochdale and Milnrow.
The memorial park on Newhey Road has its own car park, which does not help a house two streets away. Tell us if you are on the motorway side or the Milnrow side, and if a flat is above a shop near the stop. A large piece on a tight stair needs to be listed before the day.
See house removals for a full home and flat removals for an upper floor. Nearby: Milnrow and Balderstone. Rochdale removals comes from Swain Street for Newhey jobs.
Insurance is provided. We will not stop on the tram tracks to shorten a carry.

Moving in Newhey: common questions
Is Newhey the same job as Milnrow?
No. Newhey is the next village south-east, with its own tram stop. The streets and the park are not the same as Milnrow Library's door.
Where does the tram stop?
Newhey tram stop is on the Rochdale Metrolink line. It is for passengers. A house move needs a gap on the street outside the property.
Which park is in the village?
Milnrow Memorial Park is on Newhey Road, OL16 4JF, on this side of the two villages. The council lists a car park for park users.
