Anlaby is a village located just west of Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It forms part of the civil parish of Anlaby with Anlaby Common. The village is bordered by Anlaby Common, Willerby, Kirk Ella and Hessle, and lies on the B1231 road to the east of the B1232.
The Anlaby name is derived from the Old Norse personal name Óláfr.[1] In the Domesday account Anlaby is written as "Umlouebi" or "Unlouebi", in the manor of North Ferriby.[2][3] By the beginning of the 13th century the village was known by the spelling "Anlauebi".[1]
The village Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Peter. It was built in red brick with stone trim in 1865 by William Kerby, and enlarged in 1885.[4] Listed Anlaby with Anlaby Common parish buildings include the c.1680 Old Hall and late 18th century Anlaby House.[5][6]
Anlaby has a village hall and number of shops, cafes, restaurants and a gym. These are situated on the conjoined roads of Wilson Street and Hull Road. Outlets include two bakers and a butcher, charity shops, a small supermarket, grocers, post office, pharmacist, fish and chip shop, pizzeria, and Chinese and other fast food takeaways.
The village was served by Springhead Halt railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway between 1929 and 1955.[7]
