Hellaby is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 825.[1] It is situated 5 miles (8 km) east from the centre of Rotherham and forms a continuous urban area with Maltby, separated from the rest of Rotherham by Junction 1 (Bramley Interchange) of the M18. It is situated by Hellaby Brook and, whilst signposted as "Hellaby Village", the parish has no school, church or post office.
The name Hellaby is formed from "Helgebi", the Domesday orthography by which Norman scribes attempted to express a sound.[2] "Helgebi" was noted in the Domesday Book of 1086 as being within the Parish of Stainton and entrusted by Roger de Busli,[3] who was instrumental in the founding of nearby Roche Abbey, whose foundations were laid in 1147.[4]
The Hull and Barnsley and Great Central Joint Railway considered building a station in the village, but only a goods siding was eventually opened.[5]
In 2011 Hellaby was split from Bramley to become a separate civil parish.[6] A parish council was created with 5 councillors, and the first election was held on 5 May 2011.[7]
Despite not having a parish church, Hellaby has the East Pennines Assembly hall, which serves the Jehovah's Witness community of the surrounding bay areas.[8]
There have been recent moves to sell the land where Hellaby local community hall (unused since 2007) is situated. After the 2007 closure a developer planned to demolish it. Applications for planning permission were made in 2008 and 2011. Local residents protested as it is the last of the local facilities in the village. Both applications were withdrawn.[9][10]
Centenary Hall reopened to the public in 2011 following a period of repair.[11]
1928年4月7日、カムウェル・レーンとベイトマン・ロードの交差点の南に、短命に終わったグレイハウンド競馬場が開設された。この競馬場は独立系（スポーツ統括団体であるナショナル・グレイハウンド・レーシング・クラブとは提携していない）で、独立系競馬場の愛称である「フラッピング・トラック」として知られていた。[ 12 ] 1930年代初頭に閉鎖されたにもかかわらず、現在では多くの木々が競馬場の中央部を占めており、その輪郭は今でも上空から見ることができる。[ 13 ]
