A quick history
Historians believe Anlaby started life as a farmstead, growing into a village over the centuries that followed. After a road connected the village to Hull in the early 14th century the area began to thrive, although by the end of the 1300s there were riots over the new canals built to supply water from the rural areas to Hull.
In the 17th century during the English Civil War, there were battles in Anlaby as the Parliamentarians tried to take Hull from the Royalists. Anlaby Hall was built in the 1680s, followed by Anlaby House, and by the middle of the 19th century, the area was considered a very desirable place to live.
The local train station was closed in the 1950s, but the roads were significantly improved and the village quickly became joined to Hull as a suburb.
Business and industry
There are several big employers in and around the Hull area, including; the manufacturing firm Fenner, pork producer Cranswick, communications company KCOM Group, and William Jackson Food Group, and Abel & Cole. Other major businesses include; Arco, City Healthcare Partnership and MKM Building Supplies.
