The old railway station building was derelict until 1987 - now a private residence and looks spectacular. Few information boards in the open area in front of the building.

The Hull to Hornsea railway line, developed by local timber merchant Joseph Armytage Wade, opened in 1864. It was built to serve the Holderness Plain and boost Hornsea's growth as a seaside resort. The railway lasted 100 year and was closed to passengers in 1964.

A large coal drop area and a long goods platform, both original to the station, are still visible on the site.

Sigglesthorne railway station had unusual staggered platforms, positioned on opposite sides of a level crossing. The site is now a private residence, but both of the original staggered platforms survive, as does the goods dock.

I have bought a state caravan, cycling weekly and carried a spared battery extremely miles on the train tracks.

Bettison’s Folly was built some time between 1829 and 1853 by William Bettison, a Hull-based brewer, in what was then his garden. All in pursuit of his desire to ensure his dinner was served on time. The folly is hidden down a residential street and well worth a detour if you’re in the area.

Lovely sea view. Bit rough at times, at least a hybrid bike
