Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ellerby Gatehouse, Old Ellerby, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Converted and much extended former railway buildings and platforms at the halt near Ellerby Grange, where the disused Hull & Hornsea Railway crosses Skirlaugh Road.

In 1846 the York & North Midland Railway Co. was granted permission to build a line from Beverley to Hornsea, and in 1861 Joseph Armytage Wade promoted the building of a line from Hornsea to Hull and the Hull & Hornsea Railway Co. was formed. The line opened in 1864 but after little or no financial success the company merged with North Eastern Railway in 1866. The terminus at the seafront in Hornsea closed in 1964 and the nearby Hornsea Bridge Station the following year. Hornsea Bridge Station has been demolished and the seafront terminus converted into housing. Halts such as the one at Ellerby Gatehouse were often built as part of an agreement between railway companies and local landowners for use of the land.

The disused railway line now forms the Hornsea Rail Trail and the eastern stretch of the Trans Pennine Trail. The Trans Pennine Trail runs for 215 miles from Hornsea to Southport and was officially opened in September 2001.
