Dunswell is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, and in the civil parish of Woodmansey.

Historically also known as Beer-Houses due to the presence of two Inns in close proximity, the village is located on the main Kingston upon Hull to Beverley road.

A significant drinking water extraction works was opened in 1931 west of the village, helping to supplying Hull and the surrounding area.

[3] The Ship Inn is located at the junction of the main road and Ings Lane leading to Skidby Landing on the River Hull.

[18] The works was one of the three main water supplies for the area, along with Springhead Pumping Station and Mill Dam in Cottingham.

[19] The adit system was expanded in the early 1950s to meet demand from the borough of Beverley but the works did not yield an increase in supply.
