South 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.
The postal county corresponded approximately to the part of the new non-metropolitan county of Humberside south of the Humber Estuary (excluding Goole, which was placed in North Humberside). All of the post towns included in South Humberside had formerly been part of the Lincolnshire 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, all with DN postcodes:

BARTON-UPON-HUMBER
BRIGG
CLEETHORPES

IMMINGHAM
SCUNTHORPE
