About

Osgoldcross ward lies in the southern part of North Yorkshire, encompassing a primarily rural landscape of farmland and small settlements. The area includes the market town of Snaith as its main population centre, alongside villages like Pollington and Hensall. The ward is defined by its agricultural character and flat topography, with the River Aire forming part of its northern boundary. This is a working landscape, where local life revolves around the established communities and their connections to the land.

A notable aspect is the ward's position within the Humberhead Levels, a distinct low-lying region of peat and clay soils. Drainage channels and pumping stations are a common feature, quietly essential to maintaining the productive farmland. The historic Snaith Priory Church, with its medieval tower, stands as a focal point in the town, reflecting the area's long-standing settlement. The former airfield at RAF Snaith, now largely returned to agriculture, adds a layer of modern history to this quiet part of Yorkshire.
