Directions

Just a few miles north of the M62/A1(M) Interchange, close to the A63 Leeds-Selby junction, with shops and GP Surgery in both nearby Knottingley and the smaller village of Brotherton.
Silver Street lies on a limestone escarpment between the old A1 (now re-named A1246) and the eastern edge of Fairburn Ings.
The drive down to Longridge is located almost opposite the cemetery gates, just south of the church on Silver Street, between The Old Vicarage and Butt Hill House which are more readily spotted from the road.
Coming from the south up Silver Street, Longridge is after the first two houses on the left, just after the playing fields on the right (east) side of Silver Street and The Old Vicarage on the left.
Coming from the north down Silver Street, Longridge is at the southern end after the ‘Three Horseshoes’ public house and the Church, both on the east side. (Alternatively, come south down the A1246 dual carriageway, carry on over the first roundabout on entering Fairburn to the second roundabout, and then turn sharp right back up Silver Street, following directions from the south as above.)
