Hornsea
Hornsea is a small seaside resort, town and civil church in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The settlement dates to a minimum of the very early medieval period. The town was broadened in the Victorian period with the resulting the Hull and Hornsea Railway in 1864. The civil parish incorporates Hornsea town; the all-natural lake, Hornsea Mere; along with the lost or deserted towns of Hornsea Beck, Northorpe and Southorpe. Structures of note with the parish consist of the middle ages parish church of St Nicholas, Bettison's Folly, Hornsea Mere and also the sea front boardwalk. The Hull and Hornsea Railway opened 1864, and was closed in 1964-- the major railway station, Hornsea Community, is still extant, and the former trackbed types the area of the Trans Pennine Trail to Hull. In the First World War the Mere was briefly the site of RNAS Hornsea, a seaplane base. During the Second World War the community as well as beach was greatly strengthened against invasion. Hornsea Pottery was established in Hornsea c.? 1950 and enclosed 2000. Modern Hornsea still functions as a seaside hotel, as well as has huge campers sites to the north as well as southern.
