About

Goole West sits to the west of Goole town centre in the East Riding of Yorkshire and is primarily a residential ward. Streets reflect the town’s growth during the 19th and 20th centuries, with rows of Victorian terraces alongside later council housing. Local facilities include primary schools, small shops, a community centre and bus links that run into the town centre and to Goole railway station. Pockets of allotments and playing fields lie on the outer edges, giving short walks to open space for local residents.

The area’s character has long been tied to the port that gives Goole its shape. The inland docks and wharves lie to the east and are reached by ships navigating up the Humber and the River Ouse; the Aire and Calder Navigation connects into this system at Goole. Warehousing and light industry cluster nearer the docks while Goole West serves as the nearby residential base for workers and families. Community groups and local schools reflect the town’s maritime and industrial history in events and projects.
