Hornsea - Funfair

Hornsea was promoted as a seaside resort from around 1800, with early attractions like horse races on the beach. More facilities were built in the 1830s including the first Marine Hotel.

A railway line from Hull to Hornsea to Hornsea was completed in 1864. The new railway not only benefited the resort, but also enabled Hornsea to function as a dormitory suburb to Hull.
