East Riding of Yorkshire – Home to the Humber Bridge
Evidence has been found to support inhabitants in the East Riding of Yorkshire from the date of the last ice age and during the Palaeolithic period hunter gatherers followed the animal herds across the land between Europe and Britain. As the vegetation levels increased, the people appeared to settle more in smaller regions
Around 2000 to 800 BC, Bronze Age people built round barrows, which can be found in the Yorkshire Wolds, although two earthen long barrows have been found at Fordon and Kilham that date back to around 3700 BC.
Following the departure of the Romans, Anglo-Saxon settlements appeared in the area, but this changed again after the Norman Conquest in 1066.
In later years (18th and 19th centuries) canals and railways were developed to help transport products to the West Riding of Yorkshire and Hull (for export). The railways also encouraged the start of tourism in the area.
For a short period of time the Humber Bridge was the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world, but is currently in fifth place.
