HISTORY


Evidence shows that the area has been inhabited since the Iron Age or Romans. Cliffe has had a permanent population since the Medieval times when it was used for farming. In 1086, the Domesday survey said it was part of Howden and it was on the banks of the River Ouse before it naturally changed course. The arrival of the Hull and Selby Railway in 1840 helped Cliffe grow and there have been a few businesses come and go here. Today it is mainly a commuter village to Selby and York.
