Hornsea
Hornsea is a small seaside resort town and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England at the eastern end of the Trans Pennine Trail. According to the 2001 UK Census Hornsea parish had a population of 8,243. It is well known for its former pottery factory, which closed in 2000, Hornsea Pottery. Along with exhibits of fascinating local history, the largest display of Hornsea Pottery in the world can be seen at the Hornsea Museum, which is located in Newbegin, the main street of Hornsea. Opposite stands the unique \'Folly\', although currently its future is in doubt; built by local business man Bettison in the 19th century, this tower contains the only fully working retractable flag pole in the country. It has many coastal defences such as sea walls, groynes and beach nourishment. Despite these defences, Hornsea\'s primarily cliff-based shoreline is eroding at one of the fastest-known rates in Europe.Coastal erosion is very bad at either end of the main esplanade.
