With reference to blog of 15th June John Scotney has written about Joseph Hirst, Hull’s first City Architect, in the latest of Hull Civic Society’s Newsletters.
Went to Hornsea yesterday, both sea-front and Mere. Motor boat trip round the Mere to be recommended. Average depth of the Mere about five feet, water level maintained by natural stream flowing to the coast, this stream centuries ago almost certainly flowing into another mere which was later breached by the retreating coastline.
The landscaping of Wassand Hall as created in the early 19th century incorporates the south-west projection of Hornsea Mere. Wassand Hall, created for the Constable family, holds various open days and public events – see their website.
