Willerby is a village and civil parish located on the western outskirts of the city of Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Willerby was a minor settlement up to the 20th century, during which it became a suburb of Kingston upon Hull, and its urban development extended south-eastwards towards Hull. The village centre is located about west of Kingston upon Hull city centre and lies outside the city boundary. ==History== Up to the 20th century Willerby was a small village.〔 Enclosure of land around Willerby was enabled by acts of parliament in 1796 and 1824. In 1844 the population of the township of Willerby was 214 persons, in 45 houses. By the 1850s Willerby had a primitive methodist chapel (built 1850), a Hall, ''Oak Hill House'',〔Ordnance Survey, Sheet 225, 6" to 1 mile (1:10560), 1855〕 dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, now known as ''Willerby Hall'', and another large dwelling, the ''Summer House'',〔 later known as ''The Beeches'' dating to the 18th century, and extended in the 1820s and 1850s. as well as smaller dwellings along Main Street, the village's original main road.〔 A mental asylum, ''Hull Borough Lunatic Asylum'', later known as ''De La Pole hospital'', and an associated chapel, was constructed beyond the village to the north in the 1880s.〔 Willerby and Kirk Ella railway station opened in 1885 as part of the Hull and Barnsley Railway which passed the main village close by on the southern edge.〔 By 1890 two further substantial houses had been built; ''Manor House'' (later Willerby Manor),〔 and ''The Grange'', north of the village.〔Ordnance survey, Sheet 225SE, 6" to 1 mile, 1891〕 A new Methodist chapel and schoolroom were constructed in 1897/1900.〔 Small scale growth of housing started in the 20th century, with suburban developments eastward towards Hull along Kingston Road and Carr Lane well developed by the mid 20th century.〔Ordnance survey. Sheet 225SE. 1910, 1929, 1938, 1956〕 The beehive manufacturing company ''Yorkshire Apiary Company'' based in Willerby was commissioned to produce temporary buildings in the aftermath of the Second World War; the company, ''Willerby Caravan Company Ltd.'', (founded 1944, since 1996 Willerby Holiday Homes) was located on Main Street, the company later relocated to Hedon Road, Kingston upon Hull.〔Sources: * * *(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Company History ) *(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Willerby Holiday Homes Ltd. Company No. 00387583 )〕〔, Willerby Caravan Company, former site〕 In 1959 Willerby and Kirk Ella station closed,〔 the line closed completely in 1964, and the station was demolished in 1968, and the site used for a housing development. Part of the route of the line was used (1970) to construct the B1232 forming a bypass for the A164 (Beverley) road, bypassing Willerby village.〔Ordnance survey. 1:2500, 1964–71; 1:10560, 1968; 1:10560, 1977–80 maps〕 ''Willerby Carr Lane County Primary School'' was established in the 1930s.〔Ordnance survey. 1:10560. 1929, 1938. 〕 In 1960 ''Willerby County Secondary School'' (now the lower school of Wolfreton School) was officially opened, though construction and extension continued through the 1960s and early 1970s.〔Sources: *(【引用サイトリンク】 Wolfreton School Building Works Timeline ) *Ordnance survey. 1:10560. 1968. 〕 A third Methodist chapel, and the Anglican church of St. Luke, were also constructed in the late 1960s.〔 By the late 1960s urban development west of the traditional village centre, in the land between Carr Lane and the Hull and Barnsley railway line had reached modern (2012) levels, with the village now an effective suburb of Hull, separated by the green space of Springhead Golf Course. Further development of housing estates took place in the latter part of the 20th century, north of Carr Lane.〔Ordnance survey, 1:10560; 1956, 1968. 1:10000; 1977–80, 1989, 1994–5〕 The Wolfreton school and six form college was demolished and rebuilt at the Willerby site as a three storey building beginning 2015. The former upper school Kirk-Ella school was made surplus to requirements by the rebuild.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 (14/03465/STPLF) Redevelopment of School Site comprising: (1) Erection of a three storey secondary school building and sports hall; (2) Construction of new vehicular accesses to Well Lane; () (5) Demolition of existing school buildings )〕 Between 2014 and 2015 a flood alleviation scheme, the ''Willerby and Derringham Bank Flood Alleviation Scheme'', was constructed in the parish, built in response to the 2007 United Kingdom floods. The scheme consisted of upgrades to the drainage system (Phase 1), and four storage lagoons (Phase 2). Three storage lagoons with total capacity of around were constructed near the A164 at Willerby,〔One wholly outside the parish and two partially outside the parish, but all adjacent to the developed area of Willerby.〕 and a fourth southeast of Haltemprice Priory on the eastern edge of the parish. The total cost of the scheme was over £10 million. 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「Willerby, East Riding of Yorkshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
