North Newbald

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Newbald, along with South Newbald and several other small local villages form the Parish Council of Newbald. It is a village consisting of roughly 800 people both young and old, and is situated almost equidistantly between Beverley and Hull. The village is serviced by two pubs (appropriately named the Tiger and the Gnu, natural enemies one would think) situated across the road from each other (making a pub crawl a literal option, a village shop and post office, named and proprieted by the ever-present Bob, and several other privately run businesses, such as a feed merchant, Tractor Garage, and a good number of farms.

The main industries in Newbald involve eggs and warehouses.

North Newbald is one of the more picturesque villages in the East Riding Yorkshire, being home to one of the oldest stone-built Norman churches in the world, complete with Coronation Clock (installed at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II), a communal village green, on which is located the whipping post used in the last public flogging carried out in Britain.

As a resident of North Newbald, the biggest downside is the lack of Public transport - Buses run roughly 3 times a week to Beverley, with few options for return journeys.
