Summary edit
| Description |
English: Kelsey Hill Gravel Pit, Burstwick, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. I came here expecting to take photographs of the burnt out cars and other rubbish which was in the water here only a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised to find someone had cleaned it up. This water-filled gravel pit has a little place in local history: in July 1853 an Act was obtained for the building of the Hull to Withernsea railway line, and prominent Hull businessman Anthony Bannister cut the first sod here at Kelsey Hill to open a gravel pit which would supply ballast for the line. The new rails were laid from a starting point just south of here and provided a means of transport to the sites where work was proceeding westward towards Victoria Dock, Hull and eastward towards Withernsea. In the 1970s and '80s the pit was used as a waterskiing venue and is still referred to as the 'Ski Pond' by the locals. |
