Willerby, East Riding of Yorkshire
Willerby is a village and civil parish located on the western outskirts of the city of Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.[4] By the 1850s Willerby had a primitive methodist chapel (built 1850),[5] a Hall, Oak Hill House,[6] dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, now known as Willerby Hall,[2][7] and another large dwelling, the Summer House,[6] later known as The Beeches dating to the 18th century, and extended in the 1820s and 1850s.[2] By the late 1960s urban development west of the traditional village centre, in the land between Carr Lane and the Hull and Barnsley railway line had reached modern (2012) levels, with the village now an effective suburb of Hull, separated by the green space of Springhead Golf Course.[25] The Wolfreton school and six form college was demolished and rebuilt at the Willerby site as a three-storey building beginning 2015.Three storage lagoons with total capacity of around 205,000 cubic metres (7,200,000 cu ft) were constructed near the A164 at Willerby,[note 5] and a fourth south-east of Haltemprice Priory on the eastern edge of the parish.Housing development off the new (1920s) Kingston Road between Hull and Willerby began to encroach on the hamlet by the middle of the 20th century.[47] The village of Willerby forms an outermost western suburb of Hull, separated by non-agricultural green space including allotments, playing fields, and Springhead Park Golf Club.[42] In the second half of the 20th century urban development became contiguous between the villages of Willerby, Kirk Ella to the south and Anlaby to the south-east.
