OS grid ref:TA 02 29
Dialling code: 01482 (Hull)

The cluster of Willerby, Anlaby and Kirk Ella lies on the western fringe of Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, forming a pleasant suburban ribbon between the city and the open countryside by the Humber. They retain a village feel with tree‑lined streets, parks and easy access to both Hull’s services and nearby rural walking and cycling routes.

Historically tied to agriculture, the area expanded in the 20th century into a largely residential commuter belt; Anlaby has very old roots, Kirk Ella is noted for its attractive Georgian and Victorian houses and conservation character, and Willerby mixes housing with local retail and light commercial interests. Community life is lively for a suburban area, with good schools, churches, clubs and pubs that reflect a steady family‑oriented population rather than heavy industry.
