Hessle is a town , civil parish and electoral ward in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, situated west of Kingston upon Hull city centre. Geographically it is part of a larger urban area which consists of the city of Kingston upon Hull, the town of Hessle and a number of other villages but is not part of the city. It is on the north bank of the Humber Estuary where the Humber Bridge crosses. According to the 2011 UK census, Hessle parish had a population of 15,000, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 14,767.〔 〕 ==Facilities== The centre of Hessle is called "Hessle Square" or "The Square" for short. There are many shops and a small bus station - which was refitted in 2007. Hessle All Saints Church is located just off the Square and was designated a Grade I listed building in 1967 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. Hessle Town Hall was built in 1897 and is situated at the top of South Lane. Hessle Police Station is next door to the town hall at the top of South Lane and the corner of Ferriby Road. The Upper School site of Hessle High School situated on Heads Lane, the Lower School on Boothferry Road, is centred on a building donated to the Education Authority by Algernon Barkworth, a survivor of the Titanic disaster. Its education standards remain moderate to high, with it having a Specialist Science College status and achieving some of the best results in the county. Despite having specialist Science status the school has a considerable reputation in the area for its music making. In the late 1960s and 70s a considerable number of students from the school were admitted to music colleges and ex-students are to be found, now, in all areas of the music profession. Hessle is home to the world famous Humber Bridge, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1981, which was, at the time of its opening, was the world's longest single span suspension bridge in the world. It now saves a lot of time instead of having to go the long way round the River Humber. The Humber Bridge links Hessle to the town of Barton-Upon-Humber on the opposite side of the river. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hessle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
