Living In Beverley

  Beverley Town is smaller than many people think, but it does include our common pastures, Westwood, Swinemoor & Figham.

  The Western boundary of Beverley is the Westwood. The Westwood and the Hurn (Racecourse) are part of Beverley.

  The Eastern boundary of Beverley is the River Hull. The Swinemoor and Figham pastures are entirely inside Beverley.

  The Northern boundary of Beverley runs from the Westwood down Gallows Lane and Bleach Yard to Woodhall Way. Then the first 44 houses in Copendale Road are in Beverley and the rest of that road is in Molescroft. Norwood Grove, Laughton Road, Beverley Rugby Club and the Model Farm Estate are in Beverley, but all the land north of them is in Molescroft. Hull Bridge Road from the railway as far as the roundabout is in Beverley, but Hull Bridge township is part of Tickton parish.

  The Southern boundary, dividing Beverley from Woodmansey parish is the hardest to describe. The whole of Figham is in Beverley even though it points south almost to Woodmansey church. From the Figham gates on Figham Road, Beverley includes both sides of Hull Road until it becomes Flemingate. Then the whole of Flemingate, Sparkmill Terrace and St Andrew's Street are in Beverley but almost all of Minster Avenue is in Woodmansey. All of Long Lane is in Woodmansey except the row of houses on the west side (looking toward Hall Garth Field) up to the new Figham Springs Road. Figham Springs Road is almost all in Beverley, and the boundary continues up the middle of narrow Butt Lane all the way to Beverley Grammar School and the Westwood.
