Wilsthorpe, East Riding of Yorkshire

Wilsthorpe is a hamlet in the civil parish of Carnaby, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the coast just off the A165 road and approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Bridlington. The name Wilsthorpe derives from the Old English personal name Wifel, and the Old Norse þorp meaning 'secondary settlement'. In 2009 the East Riding of Yorkshire Council constructed a new 150 place secure boat compound at Wilsthorpe to replace an existing facility at South Shore, Bridlington. This is a first step in creating an integrated transport facility for Bridlington. As part of the first phase, access to the hamlet was improved by the addition of a roundabout on the A165 (now A1038) which also provided access to a new park and ride facility on South Shore adjacent to the hamlet.

Within Fraisthorpe is the Grade II listed Anglican chapel dedicated to St Edmund. Originally 13th century, it was remodelled in 1893 by Smith and Brodrick. The chancel and nave are unified, and constructed of rubble and cobble. Remaining from the 1893 rebuild are the 4-foot (1.2 m) high remains of a 13th-century pier in the south wall, which Pevsner asserted might be evidence of a former south aisle.

Carnaby railway station

Carnaby railway station was a minor railway station serving the village of Carnaby on the Yorkshire Coast Line from Scarborough to Hull, England. The station probably opened on 7 October 1846 when the York and North Midland Railway opened the line between Hull and Bridlington. The station was host to a camping coach from 1935 to 1939. The station closed on 5 January 1970. The western end of the station was to be the junction of the Bridlington and North Frodingham Light Railway. The act of parliament for this line was granted in 1898 under the Light Railways Act 1896. The line was to have been standard gauge and worked by steam locomotives throughout. The line was never built. As of 2025, the two platforms are still visible and can be seen from the main road next to the station, however overgrown.
