Ings

Ings

Ings is an old Yorkshire word for water meadows & marshes, including those which were part of the Humber flood plain. Ings often teem with large numbers of water birds and other wildlife. In recent times the word has fallen out of use as standard dialect but can still be found in place names such as Fairburn Ings, the RSPB reserve, Hall Ings, a section of the inner Bradford ring road, and the Far Ings Nature Reserve. Wetherby Athletic A.F.C and Wetherby Bulldogs RLFC play on the Wetherby Ings by the River Wharfe.
