The Cottingham Civic Society was formed in 1986 in response to the plans of the University of Hull to sell land near Thwaite Hall for redevelopment. The Society is still active today and aims to protect buildings and other features in Cottingham of historical or public interest, to educate the public in the geography and history of Cottingham and to ensure high standards of building planning.
