- East Yorkshire is a fascinating area - at one end of its coastline it has the shifting sandbar of Spurn Point and at the other end the 400ft high chalk cliffs of Flamborough Head. Both are a bird watchers' paradise. In between there are small seaside towns of Hornsea and Withernsea - under threat from coastal erosion. The main coastal town is Bridlinton. Inland are the rolling chalk hills of the Wolds. the county town is Beverley - a mini York, with is winding streets, Minster and Bar Gate. The film ends as Goole - a purpose built port dating to 1826. The main city is Hull - so important, that we have a seperate film on that!
Thank you, I live near Hornsea. Love the East Riding.
Can’t beat good olde Beverley :) I’m Beverley born and bred!!.
Absolutely love East Yorkshire! Wouldn't live anywhere else (besides the rest of Yorkshire)!
Goole was indeed in the West Riding and Boothferry bridge is where you crossed the Ouse into the East Riding. All that changed in 1974 when Humberside was created and Goole, and all the south bank (north Lincolnshire) of the Humber estuary, was included as far as Grimsby/Cleethorpes. All this again changed when the much-loathed Humberside was abolished and East Yorkshire created (1998?) and Goole was retained in this. East Yorkshire still includes part of the south bank of the estuary and finishes at the mouth of the river Trent where it enters the Humber. It's only a narrow slither, and below that is a mixture of both Lincolnshire and the Doncaster district. Goole has a DN postcode!

Fascinating. Most enjoyable vid, thanks.
The light house at Withernsea is not where it is because of erosion. Quite the reverse actually. It was built where it stands because of anticipated erosion that has never happened, hence it is so far in land.
John Paul Jones born in Scotland and father of the United States Navy. His final resting place is at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland. His famous quote "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Yes, as an American it's funny to hear him referred to as a pirate.
Where the first dashcam video was.
My second home (Hornsea) in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
yer maps is wrong as since sometime in 1996 middlesbrough went back to north riding of yorkshire ie north yorks stockton went back to co durham
I live in Hornsea where the Charlets are up cliff Rd does anybody know what year the Charlets were built please thankyou....
I found the following excerpt at www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/east/vol7/pp273-295 There is a lot more re Cliff Road, throughput the article, although there is no direct mention of The Chalets. I do hope this helps you, Richard.
'Greater changes took place on the seaward side of the town. During the 25 years after the opening of the railway in 1864 the resort developed in two areas: one around the railway station and New Road, the other further north between Cliff Road and the sea.
'By 1890 about 70 houses had been erected in the former and some 40 in the latter. (fn. 86) Several landowners played a prominent part in laying out streets and building plots, but numerous people, many of them from Hull, shared in the erection of houses.'
NB. '(fn. 86)' refers to O.S. Map 1/2,500, Yorks. CXCVII. 3-4 (1891 edn.). And finally ... An old map of Hornsea (publication date: 1897) can be found here: maps.nls.uk/view/101169572
Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎

Wisely avoids going to Hull.
What about Hull? Move on, nothing to see here.
