 By the 1940s the new houses greatly outnumbered the dwellings that had existed up to the 1920s.In the post Second World War period further, during the 1950s to 1960s housing growth of a similar type took place, including new streets and estates on The Vale and South Ella Way off Mill Lane and at Wolfreton Garth.Further infill housing and expansion of housing to the south took place in the next decade, so that by the end of the 1970s an area of around square was completely urbanised, and the development was contiguous with both the expanded villages of Willerby and Anlaby to the north and east.
