Snaith is a town on the western part of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is part of the civil parish of Snaith and Cowick which has a populaton of some 3,000 people (2012 estimate).

Snaith dates back to the Viking period of British history. Its name comes from an Old Scandinavian word, sneith, meaning "piece of land cut off". It was already spelled Snaith as early as 1080, though it appeared in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Esneid.

Today Snaith is just a small English town with its share of shops. Most of the shops in Snaith are clustered on the Market Place, which also has a small delicatessen and a café.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
