Humberside was county of England from 1974-1996 and was made up of land each side of the Humber. It was created from parts of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
It was abolished and turned into four unitary authorities (North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire) in 1996. The term Humberside is stil used as a geographic description and in names like Humberside Police

Humberside was a non-metropolitan county of England from April 1, 1974 until April 1, 1996. It was composed of two halves either side of the Humber estuary, created using part of the East and West Ridings of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, Parts of Lindsey. The county council's headquarters were County Hall at Beverley, inherited from the East Riding, and its largest settlement and only city Kingston upon Hull.
It was divided into several non-metropolitan districts – Beverley, Boothferry, Cleethorpes, East Yorkshire, Glanford, Great Grimsby, Holderness and Scunthorpe.
It bordered North Yorkshire to the north and west, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire to the south-west, and Lincolnshire to the south. It faced east towards the North Sea.
In local government terms it was abolished on April 1, 1996, with four unitary authorities being formed: North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire. The name has continued in use as a geographic term and in names of institutions such as Humberside Police

I used to know of a lady called Aunty Ivy Corcoran, who has a niece called Beverly and she was living in South Humberside, Grimsby. She can give you an answer if she is still alive. ;)
