Coleby is a hamlet in the civil parish of West Halton in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 7miles north from Scunthorpe, and 3miles south from the Humber estuary.Coleby pre-dates the Norman Conquest, its name derived from Old Norse meaning the "farmstead of a man named Koli".[1] It was described in the Domesday Book.[2]
Coleby has 28 dwellings including 3 farms: Eastdale Farm, Hall Farm and Manor Farm. The village has allotments,[3] but no shops or public houses, and its telephone box was removed in 2008. Public Transport is provided by Stagecoach Lincolnshire and subsidised by North Lincolnshire Council.[4]
Internet is delivered by ADSL through underground, waxed-paper insulated copper wires that were laid by the GPO in 1955. FTTC is not yet available because the cabinet is too far away.[5] As of July 2018, FTTP/Ultrafast broadband is now available in the village with a speed guarantee of at least 100Mb with ULTRAFAST FIBRE 2 PLUS Average speed 300Mb from BT.[6]
