Description

Dated 1926. Sheet 197.03. 25in to the mile This detailed map covers the small town of Hornsea, a few miles east of Hull. The town lies between Hornsea Mere, part of which is shown on the map, and the sea.

This map covers most of the town, and features on the main map include the Old Hall, railway terminus, St Nicholas church, Market Place, The Oval, Grosvenor Gardens, The Hall, Victoria Gardens and Cliff Road. On the reverse is included part of adjacent sheet 197.07, extending coverage south to include Hornsea Bridge and Edenfield; features here include Hornsea Bridge station, part of the Mere, Kirkholme, cemetery and Trinity House Farm.
