Humberside was a non-metropolitan
county of England from April 1, 1974 until April 1, 1996. It was
composed of two halves either side of the Humber estuary, created
using part of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire and
Lincolnshire, Parts of Lindsey. The county council's headquarters
were County Hall at Beverley, inherited from the East Riding, and
its largest settlement and only city Kingston upon Hull. The county
stretched from Wold Newton in its northern tip, to Wold Newton at
its most southern point.
It bordered North Yorkshire to the north and west, South Yorkshire
and Nottinghamshire to the south-west, and Lincolnshire to the
south. It faced east towards the North Sea. In local government
terms it was abolished on April 1, 1996, with four unitary
authorities being formed: North Lincolnshire, North East
Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire. The
name has continued in use as a geographic term and in names of
institutions such as Humberside Police.
It was created by the Local Government Act 1972 on April 1, 1974. It
covered the former county boroughs of Grimsby and Kingston upon
Hull. From Lindsey it incorporated the boroughs of Cleethorpes,
Scunthorpe the urban districts of Barton-upon-Humber and Brigg, and
the rural districts of Glanford Brigg, Grimsby and Isle of Axholme.
From the East Riding it took the boroughs of Beverley, Bridlington,
Hedon the urban districts of Driffield, Haltemprice, Hornsea and
Withernsea, and the rural districts of Beverley, Bridlington,
Driffield, Holderness, Howden, Pocklington. From the West Riding it
took both the borough of Goole and the rural district of Goole.
In the Redcliffe-Maud Report no directly-analogous area had been
proposed, with the part north of the Humber constituting of one
unitary authority, and the part south of it constituting another.
The White Paper as proposed did not include a cross-Humber
authority, either, with the northern part forming an "East
Yorkshire" area and the southern area forming a Lincolnshire area.
Humberside finally emerged in the Local Government Bill as
introduced to Parliament, which also gave it its name for the first
time.
Paul Bryan, the MP for Howden moved an amendment to the Bill that
would have created a county of East Yorkshire, covering the rural
area of northern Humberside along with Selby and York (and also
Flaxton Rural District), leaving a Humberside including Haltemprice,
Hull, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole, whilst Cleethorpes and Grimsby
Rural District would have been kept in Lincolnshire. The amendment
was rejected by the House.
At this time, there was very little connecting its two parts, aside
from ferries and a circuitous journey via Goole (a road journey from
Grimsby to Beverley, the headquarters, being something just under
100 miles). It was promised by the government that the Humber Bridge
would make it a more viable unit. By 1975 the bridge was planned to
open in 1977. It finally opened on 24 June 1981 provided a permanent
link between North and South (and cut the journey from Grimsby to
Beverley to a mere 30 or so miles) but did not secure Humberside's
future. |
