Modern Selby Selby is expanding to become a large town , with new job prospects at the European Science Park in Burn [1] and the expansion of the town as far as the bypass, although this has resulted in the loss of some trade from the town centre. New houses and shops are being built on the present town outskirts. Meanwhile the riverfront area is being revamped with modern housing and fashionable apartments.
Industry & economy Much of the historical wealth of the town is based upon its position upon the banks of the tidal River Ouse. In the past, Selby had a large shipbuilding industry and was an important port, due to the Selby Canal which brought trade from Leeds. The current Greenpeace craft bearing the name Rainbow Warrior was built in Selby in 1957 [2]. Although much of the infrastructure of each remain both in and around Selby, both industries have long since been defunct. Present day, the main income for the area is derived from arable farming and as a commuter area for Leeds, Wakefield, and York. Ouse is the name of more than one river in Great Britain: River Ouse, Yorkshire River Great Ouse in East Anglia River Little Ouse, a tributary of the River Great Ouse River Ouse, Sussex in East Sussex There is also a town named Ouse: Ouse, Tasmania, Australia See also Rivers...

Retail In recent years, Selby has seen the development of new shopping areas both in the town centre and on the outskirts. The Abbey Walk shopping centre was developed on recreational land that runs parallel to the town centre. The expansion not only increased the volume of town centre shops but also provided large scale, convenient parking for the town centre. In more recent years, the Three Lakes retail park has opened on the outskirts of town and continues to expand with more developments under construction. Two of the town's supermarkets, Tesco and Morrisons are both looking to expand their stores, the latter meaning the re-siting of the Abbey Primary School. Tesco plc is a UK-based international grocery and general merchandising retail chain. ...

Selby rail crash The towns of Selby and Goole are negatively associated with the so-called Selby rail crash, which happened a few miles south of Selby at a village called Great Heck near the M62 motorway. On February 28, 2001, a vehicle crashed off the M62 down an embankment on to a railway track, where it was struck by an oncoming passenger train heading to London. The accident was then compounded by a second collision involving a freight train. Neither train was travelling to, from, or through Selby and the driver of the vehicle involved in the incident had no connection with Selby or Goole, but Selby and Goole are the closest major town to the accident site. The Selby rail crash was a high-speed train accident that occurred at Great Heck near Selby, North Yorkshire, England on the morning of February 28, 2001. ...

Hobson murders Selby and its surrounding area came to national prominence once again through another tragedy on 18 July 2004, this time through four exceptionally violent murders carried out by former binman Mark Hobson. Hobson, 34 at the time, killed his girlfriend Claire Sanderson, 27, and her twin sister Diane at a flat in the nearby village of Camblesforth. He subsequently murdered an elderly couple, James and Joan Britton, at their home in the village of Strensall, near York. Hobson was later sentenced to life imprisonment and the trial judge recommended that he should never be released. The High Court later agreed with this recommendation despite Hobson's appeal for them to take a different view. Hobson is one of only a tiny number of "whole life" prisoners who admitted to their crimes at the earliest opportunity. is the 199th day of the year (200th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
