GET TO THE POINT!

In the last post I left you in Hedon. It's a pleasant enough market town, dominated by its church.

 The view from the top.

It's market day!

The Shakespeare used to be a Vaux pub.

There's a new micropub, The Hed'on Inn.

Out of town now, heading for the Humber, we come across the Haven Arms, once serving the long defunct wharf.

Not far away is the village of Paull.

The Humber frontage in Paull.

Not far away is Ryehill, where we can find the Crooked Billet.

We now head across the Holderness flatlands, eventually arriving at Patrington station, to the west of the village it served.

Here we find an LNER 0-4-0 tank loco loaded onto a road vehicle for transfer to the isolated Spurn Head Railway - more info later on this page.

To get to Patrington today, a bus is needed.

By the site of the station, there's a pub!

Into Patrington itself - here's the church (Creative Commons License).

Patrington High Street, with the usual urchins.

There were two more pubs to do in Patrington. First, the Holderness Inn, still in business.

Sadly, the Hildyard Arms has served its last pint.

We now board one of East Yorkshre's "heritage" buses, AEC Regent III no. 644.

This will take us, as far as possible, to Spurn Point. At one time, there was a railway, operated by wind power.

There are still some remains of the line, buried in the sand and tarmac.

There was even a pub at Spurn Point, though it's long gone. You can learn more about theLifeboat Inn here. Even the lifeboat itself has moved away.

644 takes us back to terra firma and the village of Kilnsea.

From here, there are great views of Spurn Point and the mouth of the Humber.

We now rest awhile in the Crown & Anchor at Kilnsea.

In the next post, we'll head north along the coast. Don't forget, you can follow progress here.
