Boothferry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boothferry is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire in England, straddling the River Ouse, not far from where it joins the River Trent and becomes the Humber. It gave its name to the Boothferry borough of Humberside from 1974 to 1996 and to the Boothferry parliamentary constituency which, in 1997, was largely amalgamated into the Haltemprice and Howden constituency represented by David Davis MP. Boothferry was also chosen to be the name taken by a local resident when he was created a lord in 2004. Boothferry has also lent it's name to many roads and buildings along with businesses within the borough although it is now defunct.
