The North Hull Estate is a residential area in the north of Kingston upon Hull, west of the River Hull, built by Hull Corporation in the interwar period. The area includes a wide area of housing including ''The Quadrant'', the Endike Lane area, and the North Hull estate proper, north of Endike Lane. ==History== Before the establishment of the estate the area was enclosed farmland. The east-west Cottingham Road (Cottingham branch of the Hull and Beverley Trust, former turnpike), Inglemire Lane, Endike Lane, and North Carr Lane (later Orchard Park Road) were already in existence and date to before the 19th century. In addition to agriculture a number of clay extraction was taking place at a number of sites in the area for brick and tile manufacture during the latter part of the 19th century; these were inactive by the early 20th century. A farm ''Igglemire'' or ''Inglemire'' farm was located approximately half way along Inglemire Lane.〔Ordnance Survey. Sheet 226, 1852–3; Sheets 226SW 1888–90, 1908–9〕 In the 1920s the city of Kingston upon Hull had a substantial shortage of housing stock due to lack of house building during the First World War, and due to needs to replace substandard and slum housing; in 1925 an inspector of health estimated a shortage of around 9,000 houses. The corporation undertook a large scale house building program in the 1920s and 30s, concentrated at three locations: in west Hull (Willerby Road/Priory Road area); in east Hull (east of Marfleet Lane); and in Northwest Hull, north of Endike Lane. The latter was to become the North Hull estate. The earliest of the developments, built within the terms of the Addison Act 1919 was ''The Quadrant'' estate, and consisted of short terraces and semi detached housing in brick, with short front and longer back gardens.〔 The estate was centred on a circular road, named ''The Quadrant'',〔 with streets (named after East Riding villages) branching off.〔Ordnance Survey. Sheets 226SW 1926〕 A church ''St. Alban'' was constructed in 1938 on the west side of the estate, (Hall Road), replacing a temporary church of 1929 which was reused as the parish Hall. The main church was reconstructed in 1955/6 due to subsidence.〔 Later developments were built under the Greenwood housing act 1930, such as the North Hull Estate north of Endike Lane,〔 which were built along ''Garden Village'' principles, with wider tree lined roads, greater communal facilities, and more detailing on the housing architecture. Hall Road was built during the 1930s phase, along with housing between Inglemire Lane and Endike Lane, and to the north of Endike Lane. The 'Garden Village' development north of Endike Lane had streets predominantly named numerically, e.g. 29th Avenue, 33rd Avenue, etc. A main road, Greenwood Avenue was built connecting Ingemire Lane to Beverley Road, curving northeast to east.〔Ordnance Survey. Sheets 226SW 226NW 1926, 1938, 1946–9〕 The development also included schools built within the estate, including Endike Lane Primary,〔 Fifth Avenue School (formerly Endike Lane West.〔),〔 and Hall Road school.〔 Much of the land between Endike Lane and Inglemire Lane was undeveloped, and was utilised as playing fields.〔 A primary school "Twenty First Avenue" was established adjacent to Fifth Avenue School in the mid 1930s.〔 A temporary church was built on the northern fringe of the estate, replaced by a permanent building (''St. Michael and All Angels'').〔Ordnance Survey 1:15060 1938, 1956〕〔 A Roman Catholic church ''Holy Name'' was also built on the northwestern outskirts of the estate .〔 In the post war period some infill development took place creating Riccall and Skipwith Groves, on two small former undeveloped spaces (one an allotment) within the estate.〔Ordnance Survey 1:2500 1951–2, 1968–70〕 From 1963 onwards the Orchard Park Estate was built to the north and west of the north Hull estate.〔See Orchard Park Estate.〕 21st Avenue School closed 1969, and Fifth Avenue School closed 1985. In the 1990s the North Hull Estate was the first established Housing Action Trust (HAT), which was involved in the refurbishment and improvement of around 2000 properties. Fifth Avenue Primary was rebuilt and renamed Greenway Primary school . A new school Thomas Ferens Academy,〔 (now named Sirius Academy North) opened in 2012, built at a cost of £24.5 million with places for 1,250 11- to 16-year-olds. Endike Primary was replaced with a new school , built at a cost of £6 million. Both Endike and Thomas Ferens were developed as part of Hull's Building Schools for the Future program. Hall Road School became Hall Road Primary Academy in 2012. Holy Name (RC) church closed and the site was redeveloped as a care home, opening 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Holy Name Care Home )〕 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「North Hull Estate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
