Spurn Head railway track embedded in concrete near the lighthouse in 2017, 66 years after closure
The Spurn Point military railway[a] was a railway line in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It extended for 3+3⁄4 miles (6 km), connecting Kilnsea with Spurn Point in the Humber Estuary.[3] The line was built to supply military installations along this stretch of coast.
Spurn Point is a narrow spit of land which protrudes south and south-westwards from the eastern edge of Yorkshire into the Humber Estuary.[4][5] It is shifting and unstable, being mostly composed of sand and shingle.
