Molescroft is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north-west of Beverley town centre adjoining its northern border. It lies to the north of the A1174 road and is on the eastern slopes of the Yorkshire Wolds. The Yorkshire Coast railway line from Hull to Scarborough passes through the parish but the nearest station is Beverley. According to the 2011 UK census, Molescroft had a population of 6,820, an increase on the 2001 UK census figure of 6,810. This is due to major housing developments in the north and east of the village due to unused greenfield land, firstly in the late 1990s and secondly, on a smaller scale, in the 2010s. Over 65s make up over 25% of the population, higher than Under 18s. Until the early 1990s, Molescroft was very small, with the majority of the modern village being used as allotments and small farming ventures. However, housing developers saw a large, cheap area of land to place housing for the swiftly expanding Beverley. Within a decade, Molescroft grew from a small agricultural village with a population of a few hundred, to 6,810 in 2001.

Beverley Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located in the town of Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Racing in Beverley can be documented as far back as over 300 years ago, and the founding of The Jockey Club in 1752 really formalised its presence in the town. With the founding of The Jockey Club, the occasional racing at nearby Westwood Pasture was recognised, and Beverley Racecourse was founded. An annual meeting at Beverley was first established in 1767. Before that races had only occasionally been run there. Then, for a short period between 1798 and 1805 racing once again stopped. Later in the 19th century a three-day meeting was taking place annually in the week after York's May meeting. In 2012, Beverley hosted racing on 19 days. Its most prestigious races being two Listed races - the Hilary Needler Trophy for two-year-olds in May and Beverley Bullet Sprint over 5 furlongs in August for three-year-olds and up.The racecourse is a right-handed flat course, that is just over 1 mile 3 furlongs. It is predominantly flat but with a stiff, uphill finish and tight turns. Beverley has the most pronounced "draw bias" on a UK racecourse on its 5 furlong course. The sharp right hand bend and the fact that the ground runs away to the left make a low draw (i.e. on the inside rail) much more advantageous than a high draw (i.e. on the wide outside and on ground sloping right to left).The first grandstand was commissioned for the racecourse on 22 May 1767 at a cost of £1,000. A £90,000 stand was opened in Tattersalls enclosure in 1968.In August 2018, it was announced that planning permission was being sought for a £4.8 million grandstand to replace the existing 1960s structure, with an expected completion of April 2021.It has been described as an "unpretentious but agreeable" racecourse.As of July 2019, 10 horses have died at the racecourse since 2007.

Beverley Aerodrome, was a First World War era Royal Flying Corps training depot (No. 36), in Bishop Burton, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The site, like many others in Yorkshire, was developed from a racecourse on the western edge of Beverley, along the road between Beverley and York. Initially set up as a location for squadrons employed in Home Defence (HD), particularly preventing Zeppelin attacks on Hull and the east coast, the site later became a training depot for squadrons and flights who would then deploy to the front line. Beverley was also used as a standing up and transfer location for six Canadian Reserve Squadrons in 1917, all of which were posted to Canada. Beverley Aerodrome was used between 1916 and 1920, with the RAF later using the site in the 1930s in a non-flying role. Although named as Beverley, and occupying a large part of the racecourse site, the hangars and technical area of Beverley Aerodrome were actually located in the parish of Bishop Burton.
