Black Bank, near Halsham

The map has 'Black Bank' along the line of trees seen here. It could be the name of this narrow shelter belt, or maybe a track or embankment out of sight behind it

As with most views in this area, the skyline is dominated by the wind farm at Sunderland near Roos.

Eastholme Bridge, near Halsham

The bridge carries the B1362 over Halsham Drain and, as can be seen more clearly here: TA2528 : Eastholme Bridge was built by the Keyingham Level Drainage Board in 1846. Compared with that earlier picture, the currently overgrown state of the banks of the drain, and of the drain itself, suggests a waning of the enthusiasm for keeping drainage channels clear after the floods of 2007.

All Saints Church, Halsham

A very well hidden church, although there is a small signpost on the road nearby. There is an extensive history of the church and the settlement here: Link

Ottringham railway station (site), Yorkshire

Opened in 1854 by the Hull & Holderness railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, on the line from Hull Victoria Docks (Hull Paragon from 1864) to Withernsea, this station closed to passengers in 1964 and completely in 1965. View west towards Keyingham and Hull. Both platforms were extant behind the undergrowth when this image was taken, and the former station building had become a private residence. See Link
