Internal Drainage Board - Information

The Board, was formed out of three old Drainage Boards going back to 1766. The original Beverley Board

The Board's District lies within the East Riding of Yorkshire on the north bank of the Humber. The Board's
District generally lies as a square block between the Cities of Kingston upon Hull, Beverley and Driffield
with the eastern edge level with the village of Catwick, however there are eastern extensions towards
Dunnington, Skipsea. There is the secondary leg to the coast which extends to Barmston sands.
