Coleby is a hamlet in the civil parish of West Halton (where the population is included) in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) north from Scunthorpe, and 3 miles (5 km) south from the River Humber.
Coleby pre-dates the Norman Conquest, its name derived from Old Norse meaning the "farmstead of a man named Koli".[1]
Coleby has 28 dwellings including 3 farms: Eastdale Farm, Hall Farm and Manor Farm. The village has allotments,[2] but no shops or public houses, and its telephone box was removed in 2008. Public Transport is provided by Hornsby Travel and subsidised by North Lincolnshire Council.[3]
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.[4]
