Gipsyville is a western suburb of Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Gipsyville was established at the beginning of the 20th century as a housing and factory development and derives its name from a black lead product ''"Gipsy Black Metal Polish"'' that was produced locally at the Hargreaves & Bros company works. During the interwar period a large council estate of over 1,000 dwellings was built to the north of the original development. ==Geography== Gipsyville is a western suburb of Kingston upon Hull, approximately half way between Hull and Hessle town centres near the Hessle Road / Askew Avenue junction (see A1166 road). Its boundaries are roughly the railway lines of the Hull and Selby Railway and Hull Docks Branch to the south and east respectively; and Pickering Park to the west. To the north are the suburbs of Anlaby Common, and East Ella.〔Ordnance survey, 2006, 1:25000〕 Most of the area lies in the Pickering ward of Hull City Council, the remainder in the western part of Newington ward.〔, Note: In the context of this paper "Gipsyville Estate" refers to the post war council housing estate.〕 As of 2012 the area has a primary school, Francis Askew, catering for 270 children. A public services centre, the 'Gipsyville Multipurpose Centre' provides library, health and other community services. Shopping facilities are centred on the radial Hessle Road.〔 The southern part of Gipsyville includes an industrial area, known as Dairycoates Industrial Estate. (the area known as Dairycoates is adjacent to the east.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gipsyville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
