Leaving Bridlington behind, we head inland to the village of Kilham and its church.
Opposite is the Old Star Inn.
Not far away, Burton Agnes station, ex NER (Ben Brooksbank CC).
The station was built to serve both the village and Burton Agnes Hall.
Back to the coast and the village of Skipsea, where this old Rotherham bus, built by Bristol, was in use as a holiday caravan (Les Flint).
A mile or so to the south is Atwick, served by East Yorkshire buses.
There's a nice pub in Atwick, the Black Horse.
More pubs to try, as we head in the direction of Driffield. First stop, the Tiger at Beeford.
Next, the Chestnut Horse at Great Kelk.but it seems to be closed - will it ever re-open?
The Kings Head at Nafferton is another casualty.
Nafferton station is still open. Here it is in NER days.
We travel into Driffield by road and, in the outskirts, find the Rose & Crown, only to discover that it, too, has 'bitten the dust'.
Driffield was served by water-borne transport. Some keels are seen, circa 1920.
The canal terminus in 2006.

Driffield railway station in NER days.
This ex NER signal box was in charge of things in 2002.
Arriva's DMU's were serving Driffeld in 2002.
East Yorkshire Motor Services had a depot in central Driffield.
More double-deck buses in the depot.
This coach, seen inside Driffield depot in 2002, had come from Frodingham Coaches, just taken over by EYMS.
Outside, Alexander Royale no. 591.
Revill Bus served Driffield for a short period in the late 1980s.
It was intended to start our pub crawl of Driffield at the Station Buffet, but it has now gone.
The Tiger is a good town centre pub.
The Bell Hotel will cater for every need.
The Buck is still open, but no longer has cask beer.
We'll conclude our Driffield tour - and this post - at the Mariners Arms. Beers are from the Marston's range these days.
More of East Yorkshire next time. Here's a link to the map.
