Welcome to Humberside Property Sales and Rentals

Humberside was a non-metropolitan county of England from 1974 until April 1, 1996. It was composed of two halves either side of the Humber estuary, created using part of Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Its county town was Beverley, its largest city Kingston upon Hull.

It had several districts – Beverley, Boothferry, Cleethorpes, East Yorkshire, Glanford, Great Grimsby, Holderness and Scunthorpe.

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.

At the time of its creation, there was very little connecting the two parts of the county. The addition of the northern Lincolnshire areas had been a late change, originally the plan was for it to cover the area of the current East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull. It was promised by the government that the Humber Bridge would make it a more viable unit. The opening of the Bridge on 24 June 1981 provided a permanent link between North and South but did not secure Humberside's future. To the relief of its many detractors, Humberside was abolished on 1 April 1996 when The Humberside (Structural Change) Order 1995 came into force.

This resulted in four successor unitary authorities:

Kingston-upon-Hull.
East Riding of Yorkshire: Beverley, East Yorkshire, Holderness, and northern Boothferry.
North Lincolnshire: Glanford, Scunthorpe and southern Boothferry.
North East Lincolnshire: Great Grimsby, Cleethorpes.
