About

Driffield Central sits at the heart of the market town, focused around the commercial core of Middle Street South and the Market Place. The area is characterised by a mix of independent shops, local services, and residential streets that extend outwards from this central hub. The historic church of All Saints’ stands as a focal point near the marketplace, with its architecture reflecting the town's long-standing role in the agricultural community.

The area is defined by its functional relationship to the surrounding Wolds countryside, with livestock markets historically central to its economy. A network of becks, small watercourses, flow through parts of the central area, often hidden behind buildings or channelled underground, a reminder of the town's origins as a settlement at the head of the River Hull. Residential streets, largely comprised of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, radiate from the main commercial thoroughfares.
