Abstract
The county of Humberside was constituted in 1974 and consists of the area on either side of the Humber estuary. In the centre is the port of Hull, the larger area to the north was previously part of the former East Riding of Yorkshire; most of the south was part of Lincolnshire. The county is bounded on the north and west by North and South Yorkshire with the River Derwent marking its western edge and on the south by Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. The Humberside coast runs from north of Bridlington down to Spurn Point and across the Humber to a point south of Cleethorpes.
