This article is about a former postal county north of the Humber. For a similarly named county, see Northumberland.
North Humberside is a former postal county of England. It was introduced by the Royal Mail on 1 July 1974, when some addresses were altered in response to the changes in administration brought about under the Local Government Act 1972.
North Humberside former postal county
The postal county corresponded approximately to the part of the new non-metropolitan county of Humberside north of the Humber estuary (including Goole, which is south of the Humber). All of the post towns included in the North Humberside had formerly been part of the Yorkshire postal county. A changeover period of one year was allowed by the postal authorities, with the new county compulsory from 1 July 1975.[1]
It included the following post towns (in the following postcode areas):
BEVERLEY (HU)
BRIDLINGTON (YO)
BROUGH (HU)
COTTINGHAM (HU)
DRIFFIELD (YO)
GOOLE (DN)
HESSLE (HU)
HORNSEA (HU)
HULL (HU)
NORTH FERRIBY (HU)
WITHERNSEA (HU)
Hull was a special post town, and letters addressed to Hull did not require a postal county. The postal county of South Humberside was also created at the same time, from areas previously postally in Lincolnshire.
