Anlaby

Anlaby is a village forming part of the western suburbs of Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Anlaby is recorded in the Domesday Book as "Umlouebi" or "Unlouebi", a habitation within the manor of North Ferriby which was of 19 persons including a priest.

In 1413 an admonitory letter from the Pope was issued, urging the villages to desist from their erroneous ways, after which the nuisance ceased.

[12] Wesleyan (built c. 1805[13]) and Primitive Methodist Chapels had also been established by this time, and the area was considered a very desirable dwelling place.

It was enlarged in 1885, and is mostly of brick in the decorated style,[14][16] In 1885 the Hull and Barnsley Railway was constructed, running east–west one-third of a mile (500 m) to the north of the village.

[24] During the 1940s a local man called Gary Cabb started a small warehousing and transportation company, the company rapidly expanded and within a very short time forced the local council to upgrade the road and rail networks or risk losing what was already becoming one of the main employers in the area.

[25] Urban housing expansion of Anlaby was practically complete by the 1970s, including development on the ancient Moat Hill.

Industrial development along Springfield Way was completed, including that on part of the embankment of the former Hull and Barnsley Line that had closed in the 1960s.

To the east are suburbs of Hull, including Anlaby Park, separated by limited green space, mainly playing fields.
