Our next location in our Feature Locations series of areas in which McCarthy’s Removals & Storage are proud to serve looks north of the city of York to Strensall, a growing village with lots of ties in to history.

Moving to Strensall

Strensall has taken many names throughout the ages since first being referred to as Streonaeshalch in the Domesday Book. The village developed around a tannery that has long since shut down as well as some pottery businesses nearby. The town has developed from here with the 1881 census recording the population as being at 446, growing to 3,815 in 2001 and over six thousand in 2011. Since the tannery closed down, Strensall is largely seen as a commuter village for workers travelling into York city centre with a number of local businesses acting as amenities.
