Then and now

[edit]

Boundary classification and growth

[edit]

Historically areas were classified into Ancient Counties, alternatively known as Historic counties of England, Nether Silton was within the county of Yorkshire.[3] These Ancient Counties were then separated further, Nether Silton was within the North Riding of Yorkshire.[3] Areas were then separated into Poor Law Union/Registration district, Nether Silton came under Northallerton.[3] Nether Silton then became part of Birdforth, an Ancient District.[3] Then formed part of a Registration sub-District under Northallerton.[3] Then became a Sanitary District under the area of Northallerton.[3] Again, continued to be part of Northallerton under Local government district.[3] Previously part of Leake civil parish, Nether Silton became a parish in its own right in 1866.[3] The only growth in the area was in 1934, an increase of 120 acres (0.49 km2) to 1,658 acres (6.71 km2), through gaining part of Leake.[4]

Demographics

[edit]

In 1881 the total population occupying Nether Silton was 176, consisting of 96 males and 80 females.[6] The changing population graph of Nether Silton, shows that since 1881 the population of those living in the village has continued to decrease. According to data from the Census the population in 2001 was 93, consisting of 44 males and 49 females.[5] 55% of the population are aged 45 years and above and the mean age of the population is 46.6 years.[5] Therefore, from the demographic statistics, Nether Silton has a declining population and also an emerging ageing population.

This now appears to have all changed with the 2011 census measuring the population at 276.

Employment

[edit]

In 1881, 36 out of the 44 males were employed in agriculture,[7] therefore the dominant occupation. During the same period of time, the majority of females occupations are not specified.[7] According to data obtained from the 2001 Census[8] employment was equally divided between extractive and manufacturing industries (agriculture, fishing, hunting, forestry, quarrying, mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, gas and water supply), and service industries (transport, retail, hotel, catering, property, storage, public administration and defence, finance, communication, education, health and social work). Agriculture is now grouped under manufacturing industries so the number of those employed in agriculture is unknown. But with the area's history of agriculture dominating employment for males[7] it is probable that agriculture is an employer to some extent in Nether Silton. Therefore, when summarising the 2001 census data, it would be correct to say that agriculture no longer dominates employment as it did in 1881, as residents are now moving into jobs within the service sector.[8]
