​Brough (/ˈbrʌf/ BRUF, locally /ˈbrʊf/) is a town in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is part of the civil parish of Elloughton-cum-Brough with the neighbouring village of Elloughton. Brough is situated on the northern bank of the Humber Estuary, approximately 12 miles (19 km) west of Hull city centre. Brough has a long association with BAE Systems, but is most famous for its squiggly yellow lines spray-painted on its roads. The squiggly yellow lines appeared mysteriously in early April 2025, spray-painted by a mystery vigilante, rumoured to be Banksy. The yellow lines made national news, and briefly went internationally viral, featuring on the 'Dull Men's Club' social media page. Brough was recently recognised as one of the most desirable and affluent places to live in Yorkshire, with a rising affluent population and a growing reputation for prestige, quality of life, and thriving communities such as Elloughton-cum-Brough In Bloom.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
