Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire
At this time, the Domesday Book (1086) shows the Cottingham manor included a mill, five fisheries, woodland and farm land.In 1319, Thomas de Wake received a charter allowing Cottingham to have two annual fairs and a weekly market;[12] he also founded an Augustinian priory, licensed in 1320, and built by 1322.[17][map 4] Nicholas de Luda (died 1382), a capuchin friar, who built or re-built the chancel, is commemorated by a monumental brass in the church.Disputes over the matter continued until resort was made to the Pope (Alexander V), whose successor issued an admonitory letter (20 July 1413), urging them to desist for their own spiritual well-being, after which the nuisance ceased.[20] By 1661, the manor house of Southwood Hall had been built to the south-east of the village and is now designated a Grade II* listed building.[27][28][map 6] "At this place Mr. Watson has a pleasure-ground, which is very well worth seeing; it consists of shrubberies with winding walks, and the imitation of a meandering river through the whole..."Snuff was manufactured in the south of the village in the 18th century; towards the end of the century a large mill owned by Quaker William Travis was producing 15 hundredweight of snuff per week.[40][41][map 14] By the beginning of the 19th century it was noted as: ".. a favourite place of residence for the more opulent portion of the merchants of Hull, ... [with] ..many handsome country houses, gardens and pleasure-grounds.[map 20][49] Thompson also paid for the reconstruction and expansion of a Wesleyan chapel in 1814,[50] (original building built 1803[51]) and was instrumental in the establishment of land set aside for poor families; in 1819 the parish officers reserved 12 acres (4.9 ha) of land, previously used to fund repairs for the church, for the use of twenty families.[17] The current (2012) Arlington Hall and Mark Kirby school buildings adjacent to the church were built in the mid 19th century.[63][map 26] After the arrival of the railway housing development began for the middle classes of Hull; resulting in the construction of terraced and semi-detached villas.[65] The Provincial Gaslight and Coke Company was established in the 1850s, building a gas works in the village, north of the railway station, at a cost of £3,258.[72] By the 1870s the expansion of Hull was predicted to be such that additional water supply would be needed, and plans for extraction were made for two sites near Cottingham.[note 4][map 28] West of the village at Keldgate a reservoir was constructed in 1909 with a capacity of about 10,000,000 imp gal (45,000 m3); representing a day's usage.[98] In 1981, the tradition of installing Christmas lights was started by local traders, as a way of increasing trade and adding to the sense of community during the winter season.Due to rising levels of nitrate contamination of the groundwater an ion-exchange nitrate removal plant was added in 2009 with a capacity of 33 ML/d; the plant used a rotating schedule of 20 de-nitrating reactors (14 online, 6 in stages of regeneration) with the ion exchange media regeneration phased including an initial backwash fluidisation stage, followed by countercurrent ion-exchange resin recharge.[map 34] The cemetery was opposed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, and by some local residents but was allowed on an appeal, and formally opened in May 2010.[104] An adjacent site was also sought to be developed in the same period – an initial plan for up to 600 houses as part of a mixed use development (2013) was submitted by Hull and East Yorkshire NHS Trust but rejected;[105][106] an amended and reduced plan for up to 180 dwellings between Willerby Low Road and Castle Road was submitted in 2014 and accepted.[107] In 2016, planning permission was granted for a 320 home development on a 26 acres (11 ha) site to the north-west of the village, south of Harland Way.[108][109] The approximate boundaries of the modern civil parish of Cottingham are the A164 Beverley to Humber Bridge road to the west and Kingston upon Hull to the east.[110][111] The northern half of the parish is primarily agricultural, including glasshouse horticulture and a Traveller site on Wood Hill Way.[111] The substation is the connection point for the GigaWatt-sized Dogger Bank Wind Farm, and two grid batteries at a combined 145 MW power.[1] Apart from the two Traveller's sites (Woodhill Way and Eppleworth Road) and a small number of farms, there are no habitation centres in the parish outside the main village.[132] Cottingham Springboard Festival takes place over three days each May, with live music in public houses from mainly local and regional acts.Services include trains to Hull Paragon Interchange, York, Sheffield, Doncaster, Bridlington and Scarborough provided by Arriva Rail North.
