Goole is home to the UK’s most in-land port. Its’ industrial past is written into its skyline. Alongside tall cranes and derricks, you’ll find distinctive water towers and proud Victorian buildings.

Goole has excellent transport links, making it an ideal location for families, commuters and first time buyers. The once quiet port town is now filled with well rated schools, colleges and nurseries and has plenty of amenities by way of bars, restaurants, sports grounds and a leisure centre.
The town of Howden is dominated by its beautiful minster. It has a beautifully preserved Georgian town centre with narrow cobbled streets, restored buildings, attractive shops, historic coaching inns and charming tea rooms, and a small market which takes place each Friday. On the outskirts of the town Howden Marsh is a lovely place for a quiet stroll, with a lake and small or birds and wildlife.
With a broad range of housing, from traditional Victorian terraces to brand new modern housing developments along with their close proximity to the Humber estuary, Goole and Howden are perfectly placed to benefit from the growth of major UK industries. The Humber is home to the UK’s busiest port complex, of which Goole is one of the four major ports. Local Humber Freeport status means that the area is fast becoming a global gateway for international trade and investment and will accelerate the region as a world-leading hub for green energy, clean growth, digital innovation, chemicals and advanced manufacturing. A projected £650m of investment into the Humber area will provide the catalyst for future investment, job growth, regeneration, decarbonisation and innovation.
So it’s no surprise that the area is attracting the attention of large companies looking to expand and increased commercial development in the area is expected to create thousands of new jobs. Siemens Mobility continue to build their £200m rail manufacturing facility whilst local company, Croda Plc, have also built a new worldwide distribution hub. More recently, Finnish company, Metsa Tissue have announced their plans for a new, state-of-the art tissue paper mill in Goole, through a landmark investment of hundreds of millions of pounds.
