New Ellerby is a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, on the broad Holderness peninsula. The hamlet is found some eight miles north-east of Kingston upon Hull city centre and a mile and a half east of Skirlaugh, lying to the east of the A165 road.
In 1823 Ellerby was noted as being in the parish of Swine, and the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. The population at the time, including the then settlements of Dowthorp, Langthorp and Owbrough, was 233, including five farmers, a blacksmith, a wheelwright, a shoemaker, the landlord of The Board public house, and a further farmer at Dowthorp.[1]
New Ellerby was served from 1864 to 1964 by Burton Constable railway station on the Hull and Hornsea Railway.[2]
