MILBY, a township, joint with Humberton, partly
in the parish of KIRBY-on-the-MOOR, wapentake of
HALLIKELD, North riding, and partly in that part of the
parish of ALDBOROUGH which is in the lower division
of the wapentake of CLARO, West riding, of the county
of YORK, 1 mile (N. by E.) from Boroughbridge. The
population is returned with Humberton. The river
Ure, which separates this place from Boroughbridge,
was, before the Conquest, crossed by a wooden bridge,
on the line of the great north road; some remains
of it are still visible when the water is low.
