Dairycoates

Dairycoates is an area of Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, a former hamlet.

[5] The shed was expanded during the late 19th and early 20th century into one of the largest on the North Eastern Railway's system.

[6][7] In the 1850s the area contained only the railway lines; the hamlet (farm) of Dairy Coates, located within the triangle of land formed by the junctions of the railway lines; a brick and tile works to the east; and further east, the houses Dairy Coates Grange, and Dairy Coates Lodge; the land was in agricultural use, and the only roads the east west Hessle and North Ferriby Turnpike (later "Hessle Road"), and Chalk Lane, running north off it.

[4] To the south of the railway line St Andrew's Dock was opened in 1883 (expanded 1890s), on land reclaimed from the Humber.

[11] The Hull and Barnsley Railway opened in 1885, with branch line passing through the area to a freight terminus, Neptune Street goods station.

By the same period the westwards urban growth of Hull along Hessle Road had reached the area.

[14] The general pattern of development remained constant through much of the 20th century, whilst Hull grew westwards into Gipsyville and towards Hessle and Anlaby.

[28] The Neptune Street goods branch of the former Hull and Barnsley line also had been closed and removed by the 1970s.

In 2016 Lidl announced it intended to close its supermarket and build a larger one across from the previous site nearer to Brighton Street.
