context_page_description: Newland is a suburb of Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in the north-west of the city, a former village on the Hull to Beverley turnpike.
  Before the mid 18th century Newland was a hamlet in a partially swampy agricultural area, located near the crossroads of Cottingham and Beverley-Hull turnpikes. Extensive enclosure and drainage took place after 1766, and it briefly developed as a preferred place for Hull merchants in the 19th century. The future parish church, St John's, was built in 1833, and in 1862 the ecclesiastical parish of Newland was established as separate from Cottingham in the East Riding. By the beginning of the 20th century the urban spread of Hull had reached Newland, and over the next half century the village was surrounded by housing and other developments.
  The modern area of Newland includes and the former site of the Kingston upon Hull Municipal Training College, later the University of Humberside and now part of the neighbouring Hull University, as well as the Newland Park estate, and the Newland Avenue areas.
context_section_description: The modern area of Newland is roughly equivalent to that set out as a parish in 1862 – it is centred on Cottingham Road, between its junctions with Beverley Road (A1079) and with Newland Avenue. Near the Beverley Road crossroads is the original parish church, St John's; and to the west are some houses dating from the 19th century village. West along Cottingham Road are the Newland Park estate on the south side, and Hull University, including the buildings of the former Humberside University, on the north. Newland Avenue runs south of Cottingham Road west and approximately parallel to Beverley Road; from the crossroads eastward is Clough Road, now an industrial area.
  To the west is further housing within Hull, centred around Bricknell Avenue; at the western edge to the North and Northwest is the North Hull Estate, and beyond that Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire and the Orchard Park Estate; to the south-west and south-east are the urban areas of The Avenues, Pearson Park, and Stepney. The Clough Road area is bounded to the east by the River Hull on the far bank of which is Stoneferry; to the south of the Clough Road area is the industrial area known as Sculcoates.
  Newland Avenue is an important local shopping area, with 170 shops (2015).
  The area (excluding Clough Road) is predominately a mixture of housing and educational buildings, with significant open spaces including playing fields, allotments, and the Northern Cemetery. In addition to the north–south and east–west main roads the Beverley and Barmston Drain also passes through the region, forming an approximate boundary between the housing use of the west and the industrial use along Clough Road. The NW-SW route of the now covered Cottingham Drain is still visible from the mapped or aerial geography, and forms a boundary between the University (excluding former Humberside polytechnic buildings) and The Quadrant area of the North Hull Estate. Newlands is low lying, under 5 metres (16 ft) below sea level, and flat.
