You are looking for a small Geocache that blends in well with is suroundings. We have placed the Cache in the old Railway station area. It's a lovely place in Hornsea and lovely walks in all directions including a stones throw from the beach.
Fact: Hornsea Town was the terminus of the Hull and Hornsea Railway, located around 100 yards from the sea. The fine station buildings were designed by Rawlins Gould, originally a canopy covered the main platform and track , being attached to the station buildings and supported on cast iron columns on the outer side. The building is similar in appearance to
York and North Midland Railway structures, no doubt due to the fact that Gould had previously been employed by George Townsend Andrews, the YNMR architect. There was one long main platform adjacent to the buildings, with an equally long island platform for excursions. The station was opened as Hornsea with Town added from 25.9.1950.
The station stood derelict but intact until 1987 when work began to convert the station buildings into housing; the excursion platforms were removed and new houses built on the site. A new access road was built on the trackbed.
Warning!!! the area is quite exposed so you have to be clever and descreet/ Please replacwe the cache in the most sheltered position possible.
Happy searching.
