Hornsea Town Railway Station

It opened with the rest of the line on 28 March 1864, it was originally named just "Hornsea".
The station originally had one platform adjacent to the station building with a canopy over the platform. There was a turntable, a signal box and two goods sidings. By 1910 there was an additional double sided platform and long sidings.
The station was renamed – with the "Town" suffix – on 25 September 1950, and closed on 19 October 1964.
Two camping coaches were positioned here by the North Eastern Region from 1959 to 1964.
