Sculcoates
Sculcoates is a suburb of Kingston upon Hull, north of the city centre, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.[1]
History
Because of increased mobility of an increasing population, the parishes of Drypool, Garrison Side, Hessle Within, Marfleet, Newington, Southcoates and Sutton Within were abolished on 25 March 1898 and added to the parish of Sculcoates.[2] In 1951 the parish had a population of 255,961.[3] On 1 April 1974 the parish was abolished and became part of Kingston upon Hull unparished area.[4]
For many centuries, much of what was called Hull came within the parish of St Mary's Church.
Sculcoates railway station closed on 9 June 1912.
Amenities
Sculcoates has a library, a post office, a high school, two primary schools and a swimming bath called Beverley Road Baths. The baths was opened in 1905, and underwent a £3.75 million refurbishment from June 2020 until reopening in August 2021.[5] The baths are a Grade II Listed building.[6]
