West Ella
West Ella is a village in the civil parish of Kirk Ella, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, on the eastern edge of the Yorkshire Wolds. It is 6 miles (10 km) west of the city of Hull.
The village lies on West Ella Road, between Kirk Ella and Swanland – it was beautified by the owners the Sykes family in the 19th century, and as a consequence much of the area is now a conservation area, with many listed buildings. In the two decades after the end of the Second World War the village expanded, more than doubling the housing stock, mainly high quality detached dwellings, with much of the new housing along an additional road, Elveley Drive, running north.
West Ella is considered to be one of the most exclusive and desirable villages to live in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
The small village of West Ella is around 0.6 miles (1 km) roughly west of the traditional village centre of Kirk Ella; much of the village's housing is located on the east-west West Ella Road from Kirk Ella to Swanland, there is also housing north towards Riplingham Road along Elveley Drive. The village lies in the eastern foothills of the Yorkshire Wolds and is at between 40 and 60 metres (130 and 200 ft) above sea level, rising westward. Most of the village along West Ella Road is a conservation area, due to the picturesque nature of the village; the area is richly treed, and hedged with associated wildlife.
The village is separated from its neighbours on all side by open land, coppices and the golf course of Hull Golf Club. Directly west of the village is the route of the modern A164.
Together with the adjacent village of Kirk Ella, West Ella forms the civil parish of Kirk Ella; and is within the Parliamentary constituency of Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice.
West Ella, with Cottingham, Willerby, Kirk Ella, Anlaby, and Anlaby Common and the town of Hessle was once part of a district of Haltemprice.
The name has been interpreted to mean "Aelf(a)'s Western Woodland Clearing", and be Old English in origin; there is evidence of human activity in the area from the Mesolithic period, and later during the Iron Age and Roman Britain periods. Of four references to "Ella" in the Domesday Book it is thought that one refers to West Ella, either as a village of 20 or 5 persons.
