Moving to Old Mosborough

[Linksys 10]

Thinking of moving to this area (round Westwell Place/Elmwood Drive/Ladybank Road) Can any one tell me what it is like?

I think it's a nice quiet area. Old mosborough is a great place to live.

Old Mosborough is a nice place to live and although I'm only 200 yds away (as the crow flies) from the roads you mention I've never actually set foot on them. You will however, be within a couple of minutes walking distance of the following essential local amenities:

 

Pubs (Alma, George & Dragon, Royal Oak, The Queen, Vine)

Chippy's (Tony's, Admiral)

don't forget the British Oak, they have outdoor mini music festivals (britfest) once or twice a year, and regular live music

And full of chavs. That place is a nightmare. All the westfield nutters turn up on the bus.

Aah, but that's more than a couple of minutes walk away, more like 15 at least!

Definately a good junior school, not sure about westfield as a secondary school.Went there myself and it was ok but I have heard that it has changed a lot.(I'm not talking about the building which is quite new).

The British oak is - the westfield estates aren't or the new westfield school but westfield crescent is.

The British Oak is on Mosborough Moor which used to be known as Moorside. It is not "old" Mosborough. Westfield Crescent is also in New Mosborough. "Old Mosborough is generally defined as Mosborough Village. The area around Queen Street, Chapel Street, High Street & Duke Street. This area is designated as an "Area of Historical Interest".

Westfield Crescent is a relatively new estate and may become part of Old Mosborough in about 200 years.
